Do you know what the entire thing here reminds me of? Yup, the "Stella" vocal synth fiasco.
I'm a bit surprised I'm not seeing more talk (in general, not just here) about the primary purpose of the crowdfund - to help a friend out. This is genuinely such a crazy thing to just casually drop like that and I would feel incredibly betrayed if I were a backer. Is this not actual fraud?
I'm not expecting a lawsuit to come of this or anything, since technically yes the money did need to go to their single developer who wouldn't be able to do any work if they ended up being deported, but people were not contributing to the crowdfund knowing that was happening. That's actually insane to me.

Wait, I completely skipped over that part. What?? How do they expect anyone to trust them after admitting that....
At least with the Stella situation, Planty was just planning on releasing albums. In a reality where she wasn't revealed to be fake, I can't even see the albums raising that much money. I am noticing the similarities since you brought it up. This one is just more damaging than Stella's situation.
