I won't trust the judgement of a reputable bounty manager because they can make mistakes themselves, I smelled that emporium finance was a scam project and the bounty manager Hhampuz wasn't able to see it through, some times all you need is your own right mindset
That's right, you absolutely have a great mindset on it. Does not matter how trustworthy a bounty manager it isn't right if we fully rely on her/his judgments only, since there's a chance they would doing mistakes anytimes. But in fact most people here particularly newbies are fully relying upon the judgments of the bounty manager when participating in a campaign not really doing their own research and when it turned out into a scam one they would start to blame their bounty manager, lol.
