I have sent PM to: @xenon131, to review this thread.

Because I didn't participate in the bounty campaign managed by: @BountyDetective, so I don't know the initial problem, about the trust given to @BountyDetective by:@xenon131.

It seems that in your case the OP should involve:@ Mpamaegbu, Because I saw @ xenon131, gave red credentials based on this topic: ClipX steals KYC data and shuts down

If, @xenon131 responds to my PM and wants to say something here about trust, maybe your problem is solved, just wait for @xenon131 to come here, hopefully it goes well and is resolved well.
That's right. I actually started a thread on ClipX because of the shabby way the project team treated bounty hunter of which I was one. My anger was fueled because the ClipX team knew they weren't continuing with the project buy insisted that hunters passed a KYC with them. However, I didn't agree with @xenon131 for tagging Bounty Detective and I said it in clear terms in this comment 👇because I felt it was a bit harsh as BD might even incurred some losses themselves too.

I wish me has encountered his bounty topic a month earlier. To left in the lurch the bunch of bitcointalk users ... hm, it  does no credit to  the manager somehow related to the project. I have tagged him today.
Well, honestly I don't think the BM deserved to be tagged for that (at least not now, except we can prove a case that BD is a part of the ClipX team). Otherwise, tagging BD is for me too harsh a decision. From BD's claim, said to have argued it out with the ClipX team to drop the idea of a KYC. It's also a loss for them. I think BD also innocently fell prey to ClipX too. However, I believe it should've stood its ground and warned hunters not to go ahead with the KYC

Nevertheless, I opened that thread so that innocent participants can be brought to the knowledge of what dangers lie in exposing their private data to bounty projects and also of what a scam the ClipX team turned into. Nobody should expose their passports, no matter how enticing the bounty seems. As hunters, we should avoid any bounty that demands a KYC that is more that a validation of email addresses.

If I felt the fault was entirely that of BD, perhaps I would've tagged them at once when I made that post. Well, I hope xenon131 sees reason to reconsider on this.
