That's a good question, although I wouldn't exactly say they will "cash in" necessarily. That kind of implies they aren't actually intending to do much work once they get the money. I have run a Kickstarter campaign before though, and you receive the seed money a few days after the goal is met. You do not have to meet any production criteria to receive the money. The system works on an honor basis. Obligation to fulfill your promises are implied by a project creator's decision to use Kickstarter as a funding platform.
