You aren't "investing" with kickstaryer. You are pre-ordering whatever reward it is you want. If you don't feel the reward tier is worth the money you don't buy it. Investment is completely different, just because both of thesr are giving money to the company beforehand doesn't mean it is an investment.

Question: What if you pledge a bunch of money, the kickstarter succeeds, and the lead of the project snorts all the money up his nose or swallows it in pill form with a splash of 800 dollar a bottle scotch and the project never completes? What happens to your money then?

Then you get nothing and your money is gone - it's already happened a few times and will probably happen a bunch more for the games that got funded in the last couple years that need to start showing a product.
