Dabs, you were in the military, and perhaps still are, thus should damn well know who the enemy is and what the best course of action is: either combat them or opt not to battle; not side with them so to eventually battle with the good guys.

Bruno,
I'm not siding with anyone. I'm trying to remain as neutral and as unbiased as possible, thus gave them the option to continue; however I will be holding the coins. The devs will never get to touch the coins unless they can deliver.
I have escrowed other coins, some devs were more anonymous or have no background whatsoever but delivered. Some attempted to scam, but were stopped due to not holding any funds. Some launched. Some, while not scamming, just failed to launch. Those did not launch were refunded.
It is not up to me to predict if a coin is successful (in terms of ROI) or not; no one can do that.
If it does not launch, everyone will get a refund provided they can prove ownership through one of two methods as described by SebastianJu.
My job has been to make sure that promises or agreements are kept. I don't judge unless it comes to some form of dispute resolution, which I try to avoid as it's a major headache.
Now that their histories are exposed, participants can think for themselves if they still want to continue, the only risk being that their funds will be held for some time and any transaction fees (usually 0.0001) or refund fees will not be returned.
I will be posting a master public key and the first few thousand addresses. If it's not there or you can't determine your own deposit address from the xpubkey, then don't send.
