Vispilio does have good English but Bounty Detective doesn't really have enough written material to make an apt comparison between the two. I'd say Bounty Detective using Vispilio's telegram and profile ID is weird enough by itself.

I'm not sure about that, the OP uses a lot of words in good English, better than Vispilio, not all of them I've read either. Also bare in mind that it's quite likely there are more than one person involved in this, the OP could have been written by some "marketing" type, while someone else can be more in charge of the bounty side of things, replies etc? Anyway.

I've looked into this situation "a bit", not thoroughly. I'm mainly posting in this thread to keep an on the situation developing from now on. I've otherwise joined one of their bounties as an experiment elsewhere, due to the OP. I had always considered their bounties to be scams, but now I'm considering otherwise, pending proof of concept.

It also seems clear from the evidence provided (source lost but suchmoon posted it) that Vispilio was their bounty manager support, without a shadow of doubt. But not that he "runs" Bounty Detective, or that he remains in management with the team today. At least from talks I have had with their support person when investigating this team, it seems pretty clear to me they have a different support member now running things on the ground. I also realise I could be completely wrong about this, but evidence is lacking in both directions and is unlikely to be gained either way.

My opinion as well as experiment is also bias, due to my affiliation with another platform, but I'm trying to remain neutral for the time being. Someone would otherwise need to consolidate these 7 pages of concerns, as well as another 10, into a summarised account of why the OP is a scammer. Ideally with convincing evidence, not just that a project they ran exit scammed and they abused the trust system...

To me abusing the trust system makes you a shithead, it doesn't make you a scammer by default, but maybe there's something else in 17 pages I'm missing.
