If investment is made by escrow, what are the cancellation/withdrawal terms for investors? Assuming it is not a blatant scam (i.e. nothing delivered), until what point can we potentially say "we're out" and ask Anon136 for funds to be returned?
If you are not satisfied with the completed product, i.e. if we don't live up to your expectations you may ask for a return from Anon136. Take note though that there is no rule stating that you must keep your funds until whatever point, if your a dissatisfied for any reason or if you simply need to use the funds you put in escrow for whatever reason you can always ask Anon136 for a refund.
Its this crap that makes the Developer look legit when he seems to happily accept Escrow when he knows full well the majority wont use the Escrow and will send directly to him. Escrow is good but you GO TO USE IT!!!!
This is a scam but at least protect yourself.
