No funds were ever returned, and I think you can see from his own writing that he has no real issue with what he did. Apparently, screwing over his backers was a learning tool for him.
I have backed a ton of projects on Kickstarter, and fully understand that things can go wrong and that ultimately a project may not work out (although in all my backed projects, his was the only one where I encountered a total loss combined with fraud). I think that all most backers are looking for is a well planned out best effort, and transparency throughout the process. In this case, there was zero transparency until the end, irresponsible use of funds (criminal in my mind), and a lack of remorse. If he had really cared about what he had done, and learned from the experience, he would be refunding his backers over time. Anyways, for obvious reasons, I personally will never do business with him again. Luckily, it was a relatively minor loss financially, but the overall experience leaves a bitter taste.
