I suggest we will soon see an airBNB style situation developing with kickstarter. Right now, kickstarter is still hipster, fairly new, nice crowd, soon that will change and it's entire proposition will be taken advantage of by those who just want the money. Enjoy it while you can.

AirBnB is in worse situation because few people are involved. On Kickstarter there are at least hundreds of people involved in average project so chances that someone will notice fraud are much higher.

Agree. kickstarter will play this as "nothing to see here move along". But the truth is several well publicized frauds that happen could would be great publicity for the site. Especially something that lands on the nightly news or Nytimes. Like stories of selling body parts on ebay that the media liked to pick up.
