Enforce to escrow the funds before start working for another week !
Yeah, escrowing the fund is much better I saw replies above that the dev mentioned the reputed member Lauda who was escrow the fund.
Let's just wait for the manager here respond the concerned of these inquiries, and hopefully, he will answer them.
To the manager please resolve this problem don't risk your rank and reputation in the scam project, some managers who got neg trust because of scam project.
Good luck participants and the manager as well.
