While I wasn't part of this deal, I did participate in the Hester Prynne album crowd fund deal. I paid $50 and was promised a limited edition hard copy, shirt, and other junk. I never got as much as a shipping confirmation. I got early access to the album through Dropbox, but the files disappeared when I tried to download them. I ultimately bought the digital album on Bandcamp.
Long story short, Hester Prynne screwed me and I urge others to avoid crowd funding albums.
