    I do not believe there is any other option but Class-Action Lawsuits, and an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service for why he did not declare the money as income if he kept funds but didn't use them for their collected purposes. Even the youngest Kickstarter is approaching 4 years unfulfilled.
