Sorry to hear the news, I was really sad to hear such news imagine working more than a month to a project trying to promote it and in the end they just waste effort and time. It looks like there's still a lot of scam projects running their bounty campaign in the forum.
Working hard for 2 months but in the end you wont get anything will make you very angry. Thats why every bounty hunters should make a research before joining in a bounty campaign to lessen the risk of not getting paid.
I personally will always try avoid to deal with the defi project that doesn't backed by company or running by the unknown developers. I was feeling doubt when I was seeing the yeard global bounty already introduced in the bounty section. This was the same like any other YFI forked coin.
There were so many scam bounties that came from the various defi projects. I think that everyone should stop to join in the bounty that was created by the suspicious defi projects.
The hunters must not blindly promoting the defi project caused by it's getting hyped.
The most difficult task to determine the scam defi bounty.
