Update: 05/06/15 – Fonkraft has issued a statement on their website, they touched on what happened leading up to their campaign being cancelled on Indiegogo and what their future plans are:

Current state.

As many of you may have heard our Indiegogo campaign has been pulled off by Indiegogo’s Customer Happiness Team, the decision that we’re absolutely are stunned about. We’re strongly feel that it was not fair to us and not fair to our backers as well.

We feel that we’ve been subjected to some kind of witch-hunting or complete judgement error.

A second day into our campaign we’ve had a message from Indiegogo’s Customer Happiness Team declaring that our campaign has been flagged for additional review. We’ve been given a short timeline in which we had to provide confidential information which we did and in punctual manner, fully co-operating.

Shortly after we’ve received such a response:

Thank you for your patience. We appreciate your cooperation throughout the review process. Unfortunately, after reviewing your campaign and campaign activity, we have determined that your campaign is too risky to continue raising funds through Indiegogo. At this time, we have removed your campaign from our platform and will be processing refunds for your campaign.

Indiegogo strives to maintain a balance between being an equal opportunity platform while simultaneously protecting the security of our users, and the decision to remove your campaign was not made lightly. We appreciate your understanding and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Since then we haven’t received any more details about what we’ve exactly did wrong or how.

At this time our campaign is deleted from Indiegogo as well as our campaign account.

We’re left frustrated and clueless but will not fall victim to speculation and will not comment on this issue further.

Accusations of fraud.

Shortly after our campaign was pulled off by Indiegogo, although not all, but substantial part of the media focused it’s attention on speculation whenever our campaign was a fraud.

We are deeply hurt by such accusations and there’s nothing to it apart from subject to bad journalism.

Here’s why they are dead wrong:

1) Fully refunded.

As of this moment every person out of 320 backers is fully refunded.

2) Refund claims.

During short 3 days of our running we’ve received some refund claims, mostly due to accidental contributing which we fulfilled.

3) Indiegogo clailms.

Referring to the official statement of Indiegogo’s Customer Happiness Team, Indiegogo itself has never stated that we are a subject to fraud, in fact only saying, that: “we have determined that your campaign is too risky to continue raising funds through Indiegogo”, and that: “the decision to remove your campaign was not made lightly.”

Given that there is no place for speculation, no point can be made about an event of fraud and clearly, we’ve been subjected to typical crucifixion of media that level only of yellow press.

Why don’t you guys re-launch on Kickstarter?

At this moment due to strong regulations of campaigning on Kickstarter we don’t meet all of their necessary requirements to run.

We’re working towards it and plan on re-launching as soon as possible.
