That is a bit dramatic. I don't see how this opens people up to any additional scams than are already out there. What it does is provide another avenue to get money from people who have it into the hands of the people who need it.

It's like y-combinator for the little guy.

Yep, that will be exactly the angle to push. You too can get rich just like venture capitalists, with as little as $2,000 down!

It will just be a sad, unhappy coincidence that none of their investments ever pay off. Oh, too bad, you just got unlucky. But if you put another $2,000 into my next company, we're definitely going to make you rich, rich, RICH!
