You can't really separate the bet being blind and the bet being OOT. A blind OOT bet does not disadvantage the players to the left of the bettor relative to no bet being made at all.
It's been standard and accepted wherever I've played to give the big donators to the game extra leeway. It's part the floor's job to make sure the game is being run fairly, but another part of his job is customer service. If the table wants this to continue and the integrity of the game is not severely affected (you're arguing it is?) let it continue.
Also, what exactly do you expect to happen if you try to stop this behavior? The best case scenario is that the OOT bettor continues to bet blind, but now does so in turn. The rules nits are happy, the OOT bettor and everybody that wants him to stay at the table are annoyed. Everybody at the table still knows what the blind bettor is going to do with 100% of his range when action is on him, so no effective difference is made and you've annoyed the majority of the table. The OOP players still have their advantage and the IP players are still somehow "disadvantaged."
The worst case scenario is that the donator leaves and anybody at the table that cared about making money is pissed at you. The game may even break if it had formed around this guy.
