Does seem like some sort of a scam to me.
Not only is he probably hugely underpaying bounty hunters, the signature campaign pointed out by Coolcryptovator can also be labelled as a scam.
At no point before the launch of the signature campaign did the team mention anything about KYC, yet after the signature campaign concluded for multiple months and they finally get to distributing the tokens, they say that they need to see everyone's docs before they are able to send them tokens? That's absurd. It means that people who worked for them in the signature campaign will not receive their tokens, if they choose to stay anonymous, when there were nothing that said this was a requirement in the beginning.
I'd avoid investing or affiliating with this project altogether, even though ICO is already over.
