Google Image Search associates it with someone in Nigeria.  I have reported it to the moderators as spam.

I used a QR reader that doesn't automatically process the data. It just says to send him a billion bucks. No links to donkey porn.

Yawn.

I looked up donkey porn. What kind of a girl has sex with a donkey? If there are are girls who have sex with a donkey then I would want to meet such a girl.

It is unwise to scan strange QR codes just to see what they say.
If you have a device or Operating System which automatically and without comment jumps to a web site and executes some random malicious code there, simply as a result of scanning a QR code, then you should immediately discard either or both as being insecure to the point of being criminally dangerous.

But for those who know what a QR code is and how it works, they would have found that this one simply decodes to the plain text "Send me a Billion dollars".
IOW, it's a little joke.
