As far as the "botched" escrow deal, thats incorrect....
The problem was the interval between funds that went to the IPOs website from purchases to the escrow address.
Obviously it left the door open to users money being taken.
Escrow not bodged... yet the door was open to users money being taken.
Is that not a contradiction?
Wasn't it just "luck" that the funds were recovered, as the "scammer" happened to live nearby?
