    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?

      Under what system? The only easy reversals I’m aware of are credit card chargebacks. Wire transfers generally you can’t do anything about once it happens.
