The game could have atleast tried to explain how arthur can donate 10 000 dollars to the camp and nothing changes. Getting money in this game is way too easy. You dont even need to buy anything really because of looting.
I think it's deliberate actually. Dutch keeps saying "We need money," no matter how much you get for him and you continue leaving in a shithole regardless. That's because the problem was never really money.
The problem is that it's 1899 and the wild west era is winding down. You can't just disappear into the hills anymore. No matter where you go, the State will catch up with you. Arthur even recognises it happening and talks about how there won't be people like him in the future.
This is why Dutch's plans make progressively less and less sense. Flee west becomes flee to Tahiti, which might as well be fictional as far as these guys are concerned. What's worse, everything he does to try and make money ends up burning every bridge and forcing the gang to flee town.
Probably the best thing everyone could have done after the train robbery would have just been to split the money and try to disappear on their own, but Dutch is too conceited and Arthur is too loyal for that to ever happen.
