Here I think is the specific comment hilighting the issue:

Apparently, they vandalized wikipedia to put an ad for their app. Unbelievable.

edit: This is the first comment talking about the issue apparently: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1066578103

Why don't they simply sue him?

Agreed. This is one for small claims court. Although I'm not sure if small claims can make him prove how much he's sold of what, if he's already stopped sending statements of royalties to the developers.

Now they got backed, I don't see the reason why would they not make the keyboard. But if their business partners are getting paid is another story.

The fundraising period hasn't ended yet, at the time of writing this there's 12 hours to go, and judging by the Kickstarter comments people who have already backed the project are starting to reduce/remove their backing. I wonder if this is the first time there's a chance a project that reaches its target on Kickstarter ends up under the target by the end?
