Escrow is must to invest in any crowdsale I avoided this project because it was looking like Ebitz when we go without any safety about our funds. So many people learned lesson from these project to go with another one.
NEVER invest in a ico without ESCROW! NEVER. That's like rule number two right after making sure your wallets are always encrypted and backed up.
Why escrow or not the scam can still happen just as easily. With escrow, you are guaranteed to get the coins you purchased. Then the dev can do whatever he wants. Without escrow you may not get the coins. Either way if its a scam they will be worthless...
there is never a guarantee to any ICO these days. one day you'll see them begging for investors money and once the money is on them already, they can now just lie around. they won't even go here to respond about updates of the project. some dev team pretend not to be a scam by simply letting those users get inside their slack channel, once there there no activity either. eventually they are all scam.
I guess we can now end the ICO and stick to what is are the existing ones. because after most those newer tokens are replica of the old ones.
Projects like Wings will make ICOs better and safer.
