Arist, created by Nelson and Benson Chiu, was funded on Kickstarter in 2014 with massive fanfare. It raised $850,000 and was the most successful crowd funded Hong Kong project ever. From the beginning, however, many individuals doubted numerous promised aspects of the Arist. After months of silence on the KS comment page, this website was started to raise awareness and investigate what was going on behind the scenes. It was never imagined the full scope of deception and malpractice that would be uncovered.
