Honestly, gathering a lot of funds most of the time means nothing, take Qtum, The DAO etc. some of them are scams, others are bugged etc. I believe that sometimes, In order for the project to succeed It shouldn't get over funded.
I also shared that opinion but any over funded project can also have some silent advantages which the investors discovered that lead the token funding to go viral and that is beyond the control of the token project dev.
Just like life itself, we have positive and negative, the good and the bad etc, the excess funds should have made the company to perform better and not the other way around but it depends on the individual and their mind set.
All said and done, this should not stop the crowdsales and project funding dreams.
