What is the reason why anyons escape spin-statistic theorem?

I'm wondering about the exact reason why anyons escape the spin-statistic theorem (SST), see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–statistics_theorem. … Moreover, I think it has no one-dimensional-non-trivial-projective representation, as required for anyons to exist, am I correct ? …

Anyons as particles?

Does it make sense to discuss number of anyons? What is the ground state of anyons, like a Fermi sea or a Bose-Einstein condensate for fermions or bosons ? … Does it make sense to talk about a ground state of a gas of anyons? I believe this bunch of questions can all be contracted to Does it make sense to talk of the anyons as particles ? …
