Is LH Labs a big scam?

I have equipment that I pledged for on Indiegogo over 4 years ago and all there has been in the meantime has been countless delays, unmet promises, more delays, more unmet promises, a revolving door of one company representative after another after another on the forms, etc.  The list goes on and on.  Check out the Indiegogo Geek Wave or Geek Source pages, or heck even LH Labs' own forums to see what people who have backed their disastrous campaigns are saying.  If what they have done to their backers isn't a scam, it sure looks and smells like one.  Does anybody else feel like they have been ripped off by LH Labs?

Roxy, yes I pledged for two pieces of equipment.  I am curious if anybody else feels like they've been ripped off by LH Labs, and if so, what kind of recourse is being considered or pursued. Thanks.

Roxy, Yes I am out a nice chunk of change. It was a crowd-funded project on Indiegogo (similar to Kickstarter). Crowdfunding works like this: You pledge (back) a project, and pay up front. The backers' money is (supposedly) used to fund the actual production of the product that you backed. Celander is correct: you risk losing your investment if the project falls apart. In my particular case, LH Labs did deliver as promised a Pulse DAC from an Indiegogo campaign that was launched around the same time as the others that I referred to in my OP, and that DAC sounds very good at what I consider an exceptional value.  =The Hook.

Celander, the reason for my OP was to find out if there are a lot of people outside the Indiegogo product-specific forums and LH Labs' own forums who feel ripped off (and maybe along the way, whether or not anybody is pursuing legal action against LH Labs).  I understand your astonishment, but rest assured that I am not wondering if I have been ripped off. I think a lot of people are embarrassed to have sent so much money into the black hole that is LH Labs and do not want to share their mistakes on a public forum.

Thanks to both of you.  I think we can safely put this thread to bed now.
