This was a project showing on Indiegogo where funding was needed, the goal was to reach $100,000, well we visited the campaign site and it has only reached $29,952 and that the goal for this campaign received all of the funds contributed by Thu 17 Jan. They updated the site reporting that they received a $50,000 contribution and that they are now 77% of the way there, if this is the case why does the site say there is no time left?
