Tyson once scammed a ton of money from people for a video game that never even got started being made.

A $350,000 kickstarter that eventually failed sounds so much less dramatic, don't it ?

Doesn't Kickstarter not pull funds until the project's success?

They pull once it's fully funded. If they waited until the product was delivered the money wouldn't be much of a "kick starter" for development.
