Wait what? Oh now I've gotta look into this.

Edit: Wow. Okay. So Neil pinned himself to a kickstarter for a Video Game called Space Odyssey: The Video Game that was being promised. When the KS was fully funded, the developer vanished and took all money. They promised a ludicrous amount of stuff, so much so that people were claiming it was a scam before the proof that it was happened. After everything was done, they claimed that the kickstarter was for an IDEA for a video game, not a game itself.

So either NDT is a gullible fool who can be roped into anything (which kind if discounts a lot of what he has to say) or he went in with the knowledge that this was a scam just so he could get a payout.

Yeah, i saw it on a YouTube channel that covers Kickstarter scams. No idea what the channel name is though.
