Regium: Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

We will have to see, but in theory, we did it! Congratulations to everyone, especially those who helped uncover all the evidence!

I think the best way to gain traction on this is to write to tech sites like Gizmodo, CNET, Verge, all these sites. Bring the evidence to them. If they cover it, Kickstarter will close the campaign immediately. Write their editors.

Turning off likes and dislikes on Youtube videos and heavily moderating their Youtube and Facebook comments

@CyrusKing I've written CNN and Fox as a long shot. Tech sites are a good idea.

I understand some people can see who has pledged (I’m technologically inept so can’t). Does anyone think some of the pledges are false to make them seem more successful? (though they have to pay 5% commission so perhaps unlikely).

It’s an interesting one as Kickstarter are very much on notice that it’s a scam. If someone tried to bring a claim I’m guessing that the sequence of events would go:

1. You, Kickstarter, knew it was a scam;

2. You, donator, agreed to our terms and conditions saying it’s never our fault (I imagine) and if you’d just read the comments you’d know it was a scam.

I’m not sure who would win legally, but the cost/risk of bringing proceedings would be large. In reality it might depend on whether the customer could get a major publication’s ‘have you been scammed’ section to generate publicity.

If Kickstarter does not at least look into this, then they are just as guilty.

@Jacob531 CNN and Fox are unfortunately meaningless. I write for Gadgetify. We pulled our story immediately after I saw the coverage on Chess. A lot of these guys haven't covered it but if you let them know, they either pull their story or write one discussing the evidence. Here are just some to contact:

TechCurnch
Gizmodo
TheVerge
TechRadar
DigitalTrends
SlashGear

The campaign is still up, this is certainly not over.

@Chris1976 @difford morally, yeah, Kickstarter would be in the wrong if they don't stop this. Legally, though, it appears they do a good job of covering their butts.

@Jacob531 There is no dispute as to if the videos are doctored. It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
