Do you believe that every bounty that uses KYC before release of funds, bounties, or tokens is a 100% scam? Because I see more and more companies are posting this as a requirement on their campaigns.
No, there shouldn't be any direct correlation between implementing KYC procedures and scamming. They may simply be required by the regulatory bodies of their home country.
