commented on a projectI can't believe some hungry attorney hasn't jumped on this yet. There's money in it AND they get to take something new to court. Isn't every attorneys dream to set a precedent? Well legal types, here's a big not-so-grey area that could use some legal clarification. Also, in addition to the percentage you'd get of the 350K they embezzled, Kickstarter has some DEEP pockets to cover your legal fees and whatever damages you can recoup via their status as an accomplice. I mean COME ON - they said they needed 55K to get it done, got more than SIX TIMES than that - then went to Thailand on vacation and posted pictures on the internet, then came back on here a year later and admitted they: a) were broke and b) hadn't even started yet???? Good lord. If I were on that jury somebody's ass would be going to prison.

commented on a projectWow, Geoff Lee is really doing some backpedaling and everything he said was an absolute lie. "Can't sue somebody because investing is a risk"??? Ever heard of Bernie Madoff? You can sue anyone for anything. Doesn't mean you'll win, but you will have to defend it. That said, ZionEyez took a lot of money and left a long trail of evidence of wasteful spending behind them. Kickstarter drove the getaway car and took their cut of the proceeds. After reading your incredibly deceptive response Geoff I kinda think you all need dragged into court and let someone not financially involved decide what's right/wrong/legal.

commented on a projectYou know who should be mad? Kickstarter and Kickstarter users. I will NEVER Kickstart anything ever again because of this. I also spend a great deal of free time telling others what a horrible idea backing ANYTHING is. That said, the ZionEyez guys need to go to prison. Period. Make an example of them. They got 4 times what they said they needed in start up money and a year later they haven't even started developing a product yet. Throw the book at them and this problem will police itself in the future.

commented on a projectSeriously, I paid for 3 pars of these things a year ago and they're just now getting started!? The worst part is there are video glasses like this everywhere now. Hell, I was at WalMart and they had multiple options. With the way this has been handled thus far and based on the products that beat them to market, they might as well quit - no one in their right mind would give them that kind of capital. This project should end KickStarter - or significantly change how they do business. There needs to be some sort of insurance for when something like this happens and legal repercussions. What I've learned from this so far is all I need to Madoff 350K outta John Q is a good idea and a webpage.

commented on a projectI WILL NO LONGER FUND ANY PROJECT ON KICKSTARTER. There have been a couple other projects on here I've been interested in. These douche bags aren't just screwing us, they're screwing all the honest people with good ideas. If they miss the projected delivery date, refunds should become an option. Not everyone will want one but those of us that care about honesty and punctuality should be afforded the opportunity to withdraw our support. This ZionEyez fraud/theft/con should mark the beginning of the end for Kickstarter. Kickstarter = aiding and abetting fraudsters.

commented on a projectSuggestion - can you have a removable vinyl overlay for first time use so that the wearer can get a feel for framing? I'd hate to be in a field and have a UFO land in front of me only to find out later that it was out of frame :)
