tea flower

The process of scamming by using a money-raising platform like kickstarter, go fund me, or indiegogo.
It is done by promising a product, (new invention, web-series, video game, etc.) only to cancel the project without refund and run off with the donation money for some other purpose.

"That artist tea flowered on kickstarter then left the site, now no one knows where they are."
