spindown: As far as I'm aware there is no security whatsoever. If the project owner decides to take the money and run there's not much the backers can do. Kickstarter explicitly rejects any responsibility for the fulfillment of promises made by the creators of a project.

I know of one case where people were apparently scammed and Kickstarter did nothing to help them:

It´s hard to tell if they were scammed in that case.

kalirion: Just googled it - Ron Paul apparently believes them, and Adam Kokesh pre-ordered them: http://www.dailypaul.com/223633/eyez-by-zioneyez

So if this really turns out to be a scam, some (sorta)important people will be pissed too.

Well, you invest in a project it fails and you loose your money, welcome to the real world!!!.
Now I hope people can understand "the publishers" and "the industry", I mean, I am 100% In favor of kickstarter, but a failure is part of the business, and the developer also is damaged by this, he loose his "credit" and thrust to develop new projects; and that´s a big one...

Heh, they claimed to be ex-Blizzard employees and plagiarized art from online sources, and expected it to fly?
