The money goes through an Amazon Payments account directly to the developers, after Kickstarter takes off their fee. The chargeback would hit Amazon, and it would be up to them to try to recoup the cash from the developer.

Did not know that -- thanks! I suspect Amazon would fight the chargeback and if I had to guess, I think they'd win.
