I once learned in the Mir, back when it had about 600 students and one building. I think the reason the numbers don't add up is because many people learn there who are not registered with Misrad Hadatot as a talmid yeshivah or avreich, which is where the figure 3400 + 3000 comes from.

One thing is for sure, the money is not coming from Israel. The plan is to have various Rabbanim including R' Shteinman, fund raise abroad most probably in the US. Given the financial situation in the US it is questionable how successful they will be.
