“Really?” is more polite to say than “I find that hard to believe, can you provide confirming evidence” or “[citation needed]”, though. Also, sometimes people actually will say “No, I was kidding” if you ask them.
Ah, right. I had forgotten that some people use commas where I would expect periods. Adding an extra zero twice is still somewhat unlikely, though. My current hypotheses about the distribution of LW users make it more plausible that the tail of high income can afford fairly large donations.

That is unlikely owing to the placement of the commas.
No, that just makes it worse, because 20,00$ could be referring to donating 20 dollars.
