Why is it so hard for people to understand that as an IGG or KS backer, you basically have NO rights to claim? Just RTFM, or in this case read terms and conditions of IGG. You are making a donation, and the founder of the campaign MAY give you a perk as reward if everything goes well. Heck, nowadays most IGG campaigns are "flexible funding". That means you pay even if the campaign target is not reached, i.e. there's (almost) no chance you'll ever get your perk. Apart from that, I really do believe the people at Jolla were and are still trying to get on with getting that funding, delivering all tablets and going on with business. I can see no fraud here. Open Communication about financial situation is a nice idea, but not very clever when doing real business. Making public statement “if we don't get new funding soon, we'll be bancrupt in 26 days” is not really clever while negotiating new funding with investor. Never. As long as there's hope, you don't scream “we're doomed” all over the place. That's just STUPID. Besides, everybody knew they are a startup, and also it was easy to see that selling some 10.000 phones was not enough for them to stay in business for the next fes years, i.e. they needed additional funding every year. Until a few days / weeks ago, they were hoping to get their new funding on time to not have any of the trouble we are currently seeing. And I'm still hoping they will finish their financing round.
