This is the bad effect of the bounty managers who have been accepting jobs without pay first or escrow first from the project because the owners will just move on to someone else to do it.
This piece of shit scam project didn't even have a bounty going yet, but you're absolutely right about projects similar to this one paying their bounty managers (and participants) in tokens--is that actually still happening? I would have figured all the bounty hunters that got scammed during the ICO craze would have learned their lesson by now. That whole "do the work for us first, then we'll pay you later" scheme is ridiculous.
Just another lame excuse, as always, therefore I am raising the flag against them
That's one of the lamest, most half-assed excuses for anything that I've heard in a long time, no joke. It doesn't make sense, and I get the impression he knew he was busted and had to write
something before locking the thread.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure whoever is really behind this Yieldly turd won't be deterred and will just come up with a new idea for a scam and learn from this episode (in the negative sense, of course; they'll just learn how to better conceal their scam). Nice catch, OP.
