Hi again,
I was able to reach him directly, after going through another contact (he didn't get/respond to) our messages on telegram for like a week or so.
eventually we heard back from him, where our founder flipped.
we distributed 1m MNL tokens to atriz on/around 21 March.. like 300k tokens were paid to some Bounters (translators)
HE REFUNDED US 700K TOKENS BACK
we will be taking over the bounty distribution this week.
sorry for causing more trouble, it was unintended.
Sorry to everybody else who had a bad experience
MNL Team
BUMP!
Payments have not happened till date and yeah they still blame aTriz; while quite predictably his trust ratings are improving.
