Without a dime added to the pool? Damn! man, that's hilarious. I mean, that's one of the worst burglaries I've ever heard. +20 weeks? no matter how legit was the project that's no justice man. They should not made any bounty from the start and those bounty managers really need to excrow the rewards if not, there will be a lot of cases like this to happen in the future. Not just you OP, I witnessed such kind of scenario when I was doing bounties 2 years ago and until now I cannot forget the name of the bounty and the manager who promotes it.
This is the Bounty I'm talking about:
