Vaporware is different that fraud. If I promise the public next year can buy a car that will fly you to mars, well, that's not prosecutable unless particular people enter into a business contract. If I promise the public that if you pay me $50k now for a car and make statements that next year it will fly you to mars "once they get the bugs worked out". Well, that borders closer to fraud.
