The Washington state government has just filed the very first consumer protection lawsuit against a KS scammer: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2014/05/government-finally-holding-kickstarter-scammers-responsible-for-bullshit/

Seems that the online distribution platform they chose for the pilot also closed down. http://gigaom.com/2013/11/22/chill-com-is-closing-down-december-15/

I wonder if posting about Digger's own scam in the comments section of that article would get his attention Also - looking back at the KS page, it's not only the Minimates that he hasn't delivered. So many promises unfulfilled: Digital Download of an Exclusive Screensaver Digital Download of Minimates Key Art Turn-Arounds Your Name in the Thank You Section of the AGENT 88 Website HD DVD of AGENT 88 PILOT Key Art Turn-Around Mini-Poster Signed and Numbered by Digger and Agent 88 Actress Kay D'Arcy HEAVY METAL FAKK2 MOVIE SPECIAL (not sure if this shipped with the art book) WOMAN'S TANK TOP & HEART - INCLUDES White 88 Tank Top with Pink Design, OR Pink 88 Tank Top with White Design... Heart Shaped Dog Tags with A88 Logo A88 on the STREET PACKAGE - INCLUDES: Hoodie with Agent 88 Graphic... A88 Eight Ball Keychain... etc... etc... etc...

Somebody who knows how to set up a Facebook fan page should create one and highlight what's going on. Call it "Agent 88 Scam" or something like that. Then post screenshots of Digger's/Jan's bogus updates. Maybe even show screenshots of his personal FBposts where he usually gloats about his projects. Then buy ads for it on Facebook and have the ad appear on the actual Agent 88 fan page.

I don't think they can do that under a newly registered (fake) account because only backers and project owners can post comments. Again, why would a supposed backer have to email his comments to Jan when he could easily post it himself? It is a response to the earlier post by Ryan Adams after all.

Jan has been posting there under Digger's account (see her past updates). Those 3 posts stood out for me as an attempt to create the illusion of a "nameless backer" defending the producers. I think it backfired when she realized after posting that she was actually posting as Digger (duh). And to "fix" that, she adds "This is a message that was sent to me and I am posting here for the backer as requested..." Ask yourselves, why would a backer need Jan or Digger to post messages on his or her behalf? If that backer really existed and wanted to come to their defense, he or she would have posted directly. No need to send to Jan (who doesn't have a KS account herself) to do it.

Has anyone seen the latest posts by Digger/Jan/whoever on the KS comments page? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460783231/agent-88-the-web-series/comments I think it's another BS story. The second one, they added "This is a message that was sent to me and I am posting here for the backer as requested..." Why would a "backer" need somebody else to paste a message for them? All backers have the ability to post comments. Of course, the latest is the canned BS they've given us before.

For crying out loud... that line again? I don't mean to be cynical but how many times can he expect the same joke directed at the same crowd to be funny?

So post it where he cannot delete it. Like here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460783231/agent-88-the-web-series/comments Or here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3278942/board/thread/225477411

So Digger now has a 3rd party excuse to delay the shipments even further. "Due a breach in Kickstarter's security, we have lost all your contact info. Please contact us with your mailing info so we can string you along for another 12 months."

He's married to the producer

Agreed. I've exchanged emails with KS roughly 7-8 different times. They have made it clear that they are powerless to help get backers back their money. If anyone decides to take the lead on filing a suit, please consider me on board. Alternatively, you can help make as much noise about this matter so the public may know.
