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.
Let me state that I really don't care if someone were to use this tatic, the way I look at it, I'm receiving what I was willing to pay for. Actually I'd perfer if they did have money stored to make up the difference should they come up short as I'd really like to see this thing happen.
