That's amazing. Is this money protected somehow or are we seeing a bunch of people get scammed?

Scammed, but they're like knowingly being scammed. It's not a secret and the people seem totally willing to keep putting money in.

When the game is overdue by nearly a decade and has numerous controversie, that's usually not a good sign.
