I don't get why everyone is hating on the author for his usage of credit cards. It's not the first time I've heard a story like this, and it's certainly not going to be the last. I did something similar with an Amex card, and used it to bootstrap the development I couldn't perform myself. As long as you manage the risk and plan accordingly, it's not as bad of a play as it's made out to be. Also, the author never said anything about bankruptcy, and he seems a man of his word. I didn't get the impression he was going to burn through the cash and then file bankruptcy if it didn't work. In fact, he didn't, and it didn't. When you have a dream, and you believe in it, you do everything you can to make it work.
