I don’t remember if the MaxMini Green Alliance was massively overfunded or not. From the announcement it sounds more like the two owners each had some unexpected, non-kickstarter related problems shortly after their campaign funded.

You make some interesting points though @limburger. I wonder, how much are over-enthusiastic, perhaps over-demanding, backers a part of the Kickstarter-Stress-Test problem for small, niche designers and Self-Production companies like MaxMini?

How realistic – or indeed possible – is it for a Kickstarter to reign-in a run-away success, in the heat-of-the-moment as the pledges suddenly increase, especially in the Last 48 hours?
