I just wanted to let everyone know that I've received my $5000 back.
No. Shawn did not voluntarily pay me back directly. I had to go through a 3rd party arbitrator (my bank) that forcibly took the funds back from Amazon / Kickstarter. Shawn was then left with a debt to Amazon and Kickstarter for the amount.
My bank officially awarded the money back to my account a few days ago.
Anyone that is still owed a product by Shawn can also go through this route. Credit Card chargebacks for products do not actually have an expiration date. I had believed that the deadline was 90-180 days from the date your money was taken... but for products the deadline is 90-180 days from the last 'ship date' given to you. So if you keep getting told different information the charge back time frame keeps increasing.
We're still waiting to find out when Julz will be paid back, as well as a few others. Some backers on Kickstarter (un-related to Ghostbusters) have also been demanding (and receiving) refunds from Shawn. I believe I also saw the MIGHTY project acknowledged on Reddit's Kickstarter category for scams and failed projects.
