It is very unfortunate to know another project that didn't want to pay participants who already did their best efforts to help them in the promotion. I don't know who managed this bounty (BM), but this case must be a lesson to consider an escrow, at least the payment need to be escrowed before running the bounty program. This way will guarantee the payment of bounty participants, so no longer participants will be the victims.

I don't think this problem will give long-term effects. Except, all participants spread the issue about the bad attitude of the team and most investors sell their coins because they are worried about a huge decline. Then, people will be not confident to invest in Cifi tokens anymore since they know the team cannot be trustable.
