Wow. That was awesome. Highly recommended read. Reddit OP goes into an impressive amount of detail showing it's nothing but a scam. I hope those who donated via kickstarter get their money back.

Canceling a pledge is possible as long as the project is live (click on "manage my pledges", the cancel button is at the bottom).

Its not technically a scam, in the legal sense of the word. So, unless they cancel they won't get their money back.

It may be in violation of the Kickstarter ToS, though.

Also, it's likely fraud, in the legal sense of the word, because they're materially misrepresenting the product in order to get consumers to pay for something they otherwise might not.
