Does the first chick come with the pledge?  If so I'm interested and throw in couple of hundreds. She's the true futurefun for me not the device

And surrendered.

Sounds like they had an interesting time with the Xentex :


From Here :


During the course of this litigation, Mathieu Reyna and Tom Spellman were charged with trying to fraudulently sell Xentex stock, in order to finance their attempted corporate takeover and stipulated to a severe sanctioning by the SEC for these transgressions of the law.


They were not so lucky with their illegal financing and money laundering efforts they undertook during the 2002-2004 timeframe, we later learned they were conducting in order to finance their barrage of legal assaults. The IRS found them both guilty in 2011 of money laundering in which they claimed the source of their funds were from the illegal sale of drugs. We at Xentex have come to realize that this is how they were able to afford to keep paying for over 4 different litgious claims in several states, in order to falesely deprive Xentex and its righful shareholders of their assets.

But only one project has the evil dragon that comes to the resuce

Rest assured every project that's faltered or failed has it's own scapegoat.

Someone mentioned Craig; I hate to hijack the thread, but it just came to mind .. anyone else watch Agents of Shield TV show? And in season 2, there is a Cobra (er, I mean, Hydra bad guy who for some reason just reminds me of Craig

Good to know.  Who is this person for the Pyra?

But only one project has the evil dragon that comes to the resuce

I think you forget how these stories play out.

Does being used as a scapegoat in other aspects of life make one a desirable candidate to fill a position?

Well If that page is accurate, they managed to actually get production started before legal battles killed the company. I have seen this happen before. Maybe he is actually capable of organizing such an effort after all. Still, they must have some other source of funding besides the crowdfunding if it is going to work. IMO.
