He then said that even if I made the deal with him, he don't have the money to pay me because it not his project so I can't accuse him of scamming.
Is this correct?
Nope his reasoning is flawed like what ibminer said he is responsible and it doesn't matter if the project developers didn't game him money to pay, he is the one who made a transaction to you that is why you are personally dealing with Intellectual Romanticist not the developers itself. He is liable for your fees and he should pay it. Same thing goes to participants who was not paid by the bounty hunters, they are the ones who gets tagged by DT members as they are also responsible for ensuring that participants gets the pay they deserve for the campaign, and your situation is not exempted by it.
Didnt see this comment the first time I saw this thread. It is not flawed. How can I pay if I dont have money? Can you cook friend chicken without chicken?
I couldn't pay because I was waiting for the money promised by the dev. Simple.
If dev ran away, I will pay him with my PERSONAL money. But dev is still trying to keep his promise.
I am a graphic designer and have gone through the almost exact situation the op has here before on the forums. Intellectual Romanticist was acting as an agent of the project, and thus took responsibility upon himself to fulfil an agreement for services. The fact that you have no money, or the dev ran off is not an excuse. If you don't have money on hand to pay for services
DO NOT SOLICIT THEM. I would suggest you arrange some kind of payment plan with jacee that is mutually agreeable. However you need to keep in mind you are in the wrong here, so really it should more be them telling you how it should happen, but all you need to do to fix that is pay jacee for their services.
