Kickstarter Cancels Second Indie Game Project by Infamous AirBNB Squatter

A story caught a good deal of national attention this month after a sneaky AirBNB guest decided to overstay his welcome by establishing residency in the home thanks to California's squatter's rights law. As it turns out, it seems that the renter is none other than a notorious Kickstarter scam artist named Maksym Pashanin, and today Kickstarter has cancelled his latest project.

Wow, talk about pieces of trash...

If N4G would tolerate a more profane interpretation of that statement, I'd offer it as a possible upgrade.

So you're saying you would buy the "adult content" DLC?

[LordMaim]

@diesoft: I'd be willing to offer it free of charge to my fans, as a thank you for their support.

These are the type of people who go out of their way to cause problems for other people.

trash.

[Jasmino924]

The squatting is bad enough but the fact that they're actively swindling people out of their hard-earned cash? Disgusting.

[CaptainCamper]

I searched every corner of my creative mind to come up with something to justify their actions.

I failed.

They suck.

[SteamPowered]

Some one should kick-start their asses...

[Codewow]

I'll buy the laxatives.

People like this are the reason that we will never be accepted into the galactic fold and we will never have a human Spectre for real.

Seriously though, what is wrong with some people.

What a a bunch of scumabags. Why haven't they been arrested for kickstar fraud?

anways, the game knuckle club looks pretty sweet though

Cuz Kickstarter fraud isn't illegal.

Backers could probably file a civil lawsuit against the brothers, but they'd have to prove that there was never a plan to release the game in the first place -- and that would be hard to do.

The fact that they live in California but their business is 'based' in Texas and Florida would make it difficult to sue also, since backers would probably need to file suits in multiple states.

The guys are smart -- total scammers and horrible people, but very smart. They clearly put a lot of thought into their plan. Shame they didn't put the same effort into delivering their games or being decent human beings.

Agree with previous comments, sucks to be taken advantage of like that (the owner and their project backers), the home owner should've relocated them to some hole out in the desert, ;p (for you overly sensitive types, the last part is sarcasm, apparently you have to announce these things nowadays).

Squatter's "rights" are for human parasites. Scam artists like these deserve prison time, not unpaid for VACATION condos.
