Yes its true that if vitalik show interest for a project it will improve the visibility of this project very well. He is very bankable. Ehf has already raised some eth, some of us here said 4500eth, its a good start I think.
Did they make an announcement and I missed it or where this amount came from? 4500 ETH is a really good amount.
Nickolay said in telegram that they sold about 450,000 tokens, so it's probably less than 4,500 eth and depends on the bonus they are giving.
