In my opinion, projects which do not set their target soft cap have the chance of screwing people. Why did I say that? Because if they have no soft cap, they will just collect the money and they can't set the rule of returning the funds if soft cap is not reached. Because there's no soft cap in the first place. But okay, given a project is legit and no soft cap implemented. For me, it means their project is pushing thru no matter how much funds they have. But this is true for only few projects. The solid and authentic ones. And more than likely, they are using their own money to initialize the developments.
