A and B went to offer this together. If B ran away with the money, A is responsible as well. A lawyer might help.

Next time, A, pick your partners more carefully. Sorry, but this is the real world. I understand if you feel screwed, but get your things together and fight to make things right, one way or another. And remember, if Kickstarter is really one of the issues, I give you one word: lawyers.

Well A lives in Canada while B lives in US. Good luck on suing A anyway. And it looks like business B was in charge of the Kickstarter campaign, not business A. B is responsible for the backer's money , not A. That's my understanding of facts so far.

You cant sue business A because business B was in partnership with business A but business B robbed you. A contractual obligations were toward B, not the backers. A didn't launch the kickstarter campaign nor was responsible for managing Kickstarter's money.

While that's all true it looks like the intellectual property belongs to A. So while A isn't responsible to the backers, B is, it's A's IP and reputation which is being damaged.
