The worst bit here is the lack of communication.<p>&quot;Everything&#x27;s fine.  Almost there.  All on track.  Any minute now.  You&#x27;re getting nothing.&quot;<p>As someone who&#x27;s backed plenty of projects, I&#x27;d much rather have clear, honest, communication than pretending that everything is fine up until the day the project goes bust.<p>As it is, I have no idea if this project was inches away and then ran out of cash, or if they never produced anything usable and have been smokescreening the whole way.
