If you read the user comments you'll see that a noisy fellow has compared this to the Trinity wind turbine issues and asked why they were allowed to continue when fraud was definite , whereas with iFind it may have been excess enthusiasm. See below. Russell Which is what they are effectively saying: ___________ Check out their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ifindapp/posts/723770950994302 "To all of the "iFinders" We thank you for your support of iFind and support Kickstarter's decision to suspend the campaign. Not in any way because of the fact that we are a scam. WE ARE NOT!! The negative publicity surrounding the campaign by a select few was detrimental not only to Kickstarter's reputation, but our company as well. Because of all the negative press that was generated by it, we had seriously considered canceling as well. But we believe in our product and wanted to be able to give all the genuine backers who supported us throughout all of this negativity, the product they wanted and believed in. We stand proud. We will start selling the product when it is completely certified by independent laboratories. We welcome our supporters to continue to get updates at our website (www.wetaginc.com) and via social media and we look forward to a successful launch in the fall. We also welcome any inquiries and encourage you to stay in touch throughout the upcoming months for updates. Please contact Diana Ennen at diana@wetaginc.comor Laurie Hurley at laurie@wetaginc.com. Thank you once again for your continued support." ____________________________ And KickStarter say: "A review of the project uncovered evidence of one or more violations of Kickstarter's rules, which include: * A related party posing as an independent, supportive party in project comments or elsewhere * Misrepresenting support by pledging to your own project * Misrepresenting or failing to disclose relevant facts about the project or its creator * Providing inaccurate or incomplete user information to Kickstarter or one of our partners " --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
