I do not disagree with the use of escrow as it installs trust. Unfortunately, this is not as cut and dry as one may think.

If DarkStar (or any other) is willing to sign a contract, and hand over KYC i.e. two forms of ID, proof of address (utility bill no older than 3 months or equivalent [and for each director of the comapny]) and have on hand a valid tax return for the past financial year (personally or for their company), we can work with them. Otherwise, we can not risk working with individuals who wish to remain anonymous and at the same time handle our funds. If for any reason the individual or company we use is in any way linked to drug money, fraud, money laundering, etc. we stand to lose more than a few bucks thrown at a marketing campaign.

I trust this is clear. If you do not agree, then we will simply not work with you.

I suspect that participants are not going to get paid. The OP could be closely associated with game-protect or is making the claim that he is acting as escrow without his knowledge, but in either case, I do not have confidence that anyone will receive payment.

From the looks of it, this is not going to stop many people for advertising this business.
