That's plenty to be upset/angry about, full stop. If we quibble about "thief or not?" we're missing the bigger picture that consumers willingly gave over money and got nothing of what was promised in return - and zero transparency on how badly it (if it did) fell apart.
That's an accurate summation. I'm pissed with how it turned out AND I don't think he "stole" from us. I think he made a genuine attempt to get the stuff made (with our money, which of course he took when we offered it to him); when it started falling apart, he didn't know how to address it and has gone silent rather than address our completely legitimate concerns. That's not how you handle problems with a project, and particularly one where other people are funding you.
I also think that the community of backers might have gotten a better response in early days if there weren't so many people screaming "scam! thief!" at the same time other people had valid concerns. At this point, though, I think we've passed the point of no return on that issue.
