    Rating: F Kickstarter is by all accounts now in the business of providing an unethical crowdfunding platform to Scammers. (perhaps they always have been? ) They take their cut of, for instance, 1**K dollars and do nothing to hold scam creators accountable. They apparently are quite happy to allow backers to be scammed just as long as they (kickstarter) can take their cut of the money that was scammed out of the backers. Complete lack of integrity and ethics. Up until now, I have been lucky enough not to have been scammed by a Kickstarter creator, but that luck has run out Since Kickstarter clearly has no interest in doing anything to assist the backers in receiving products they backed Or facilitating a refund when they have not... I will never associate with a Kickstarter project again, Even if I know that the creator is ethical and honest - because Kickstarter does not deserve to be making major sums of $$ - perhaps countless tho*sands or mill*ons of dollars Or truly any $$ whatever amount it is, even if it's $2.50 - when they (KS) have absolutely no intention - or even the slightest remotest desire - to assist the backers and make sure the creators are as accountable as possible, including being ethical and honest and doing everything they can to fulfill the project and product that was funded by their backers.I would truly equate this company now to be or be akin to a Money laundering operation - Regardless of all the waivers that you may agree to when backing a project When this company does nothing to try to facilitate the ethical process of crowdfunding, it ultimately becomes (IMHO) either partially or fully a type of fraudulent or criminal organization when they make no attempt to hold their creators accountable.I sincerely advise staying away permanently from all kickstarter projects .
