So, in theory, if someone really wanted to commit fraud or was wealthy enough, they could just pledge the difference to collect the contributions. Of course, they will lose about 10% of whatever they pledge to Kickstarter and Amazon Payment fees, so it's not a free way to make money by any stretch and they still have a legal obligation to deliver whatever they promised to the contributors.
