Bounty hunters will continue to be helpless sorry to say, scammers have taken over crypto space and they are building unrealistic projects to fool investors, with the help of bounty hunters they get things done easily and in the end they either don't pay at all or ruin their promises and split the reward, no law is holding them back, they have nothing to be scared of, project teams can do any how they feel like
Maybe the bounty hunters will have another opportunity to find the real projects which can give them the money by promoting the project to the public. But, yes, many scam projects which trick the bounty hunters right now cannot make money, and their names become bad in public. I think the bounty hunters need to check the details of every project before they participate in the projects.
