After the notorious Nelson-Benson Chiu scandal with the coffee machine and HK Gov. awards and backing, this is another high-profile (USD 2.3M across Kickstarter and IndieGoGo) scam that's verified to be from Hong Kong for the following reasons:
Celestial Tribe business registration in HK (registered: April '16)
Kickstarter page (start date: June '16)
Multiple sources on Kickstarter saying the company is in HK ("a company operating out of a hotel Company address is in a hotel in Hong Kong, Room A, Floor 10, Block 1, The Riverpark, Sha Tin, Hong Kong 0000, Hong Kong Sar")
Bonus: possibly the fall guy?
I have a policy of not paying for crowdfunding or early access games, so I don't really follow stuff like this, so can anyone tell me whether a disproportionate amount of crowdfunding campaigns run by HKers (not to be confused with "originating" in HK, since this "originated" in San Francisco) are scams?
