ADDRESSING SCAMS AND FRAUD IN ADDRESSING SCAMS AND FRAUD IN CROWDFUNDINGCROWDFUNDING
“With the fraud rates in the unregulated world of donation crowdfunding hovering around 3%, I think if the Internet's sunlight effect is allowed to work, we will find investment crowdfunding sees even lower incidents of fraud. There are a number of factors at play in making that work, including the pledge system and the basic vetting required.”
