Kickstarter seems to do very little or at least is very ineffectual at vetting projects. When creators abscond with the money, millions sometimes, Kickstarter will do nothing. They point to their terms of service and tell you the money has been released to the creator and you have to contact them. I have lost about $600 on fraudulent projects. I am done with Kickstarter. State AG’s should look at consumer protections for crowdfunding.
