The plot thickens: transfers can generally be reversed, pulling the money back from a recipient. No reversal was initiated. The crowdfunding platform instead told the dev that they were waiting for the recipient to pay back the money they'd mistakenly received and signed a memo guaranteeing full funding two weeks after the issue first came up. Guess what didn't materialize two weeks after the issue first came up?
