He paid into a crowdfunding site and then got stroppy when things went south. Fundamentally misunderstanding that crowdfunding is a risk and the project owner will try to do what they promised, but problems inevitably happen. He's now clutching onto one clause in the IGG terms and another misunderstanding of how software/product development happens in a (successfully) opportunistic attempt to get his money back by representing Jolla as maliciously negligent.
If I were the person at Amex dealing with his complaint I would have told him to get lost, but luckily for him, someone less technically-inclined processed his claim.
He got his cash back. Amex will somehow take money back from indiegogo who will somehow take it back from Jolla, causing problems for both indiegogo and Jolla.
He's probably blacklisted himself from ever using indiegogo again too given his backdoor money-retrieval, rather than waiting for the normal resolution almost everyone else is getting.

No, when I'm in the same (bad) boat as a load of other people, I don't try to get preferential treatment.

This bit? (look, I can cherry-pick too!)

If a Campaign Owner is unable to perform on any promise and/or commitment to Contributors, the Campaign Owner will work with the Contributors to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution, which may include the issuance of a refund of Contributions by the Campaign Owner.

Which is what they're doing. But you want your refund faster at the potential expense of everyone else. Good on you.

what does that mean now?

I think he's trying to suggest that I'm some kind of elitist metropolitan snob and felt the need to insult me back as I insulted him. Shots fired. 1-all.

Nah, tuck in. I'm having some chocolate and salted caramel small batch hand-popped artisan popcorn, because I'm from London of course.
