I still have seen zero evidence to suggest that Royse777 intended to scam
There are a lot of issues with this statement:
1-You don't have to have evidence for everything, except maybe for when sending someone to prison or death penalty. Some things you'll just have to assume. It is very clear, at best, that Royse777 knew that those who trusted him were very much likely to get scammed, and he did not do anything because he also knew that this wouldn't affect his job on this forum.
Im not going to defend one Sid ein this conflict since I am not really that educated about all the details. But I have seen many campaigns of Royse777 and if you start to assume that he knew of the scam, than you have to also ask the question: What is the benefit for Royse777 in this whole situation?
-It is possible that he was payed an amount of money that was so high that he decided to just do it (unlikely, since then he would just leave the forum/create a new account)
And what is the negative impact on him if he intentionally scammed?
-His reputation would be completely destroyed
-He would not be able to have a steady source of income in this forum again, only maybe the one time benefit of a high payment for the scam
-Possibly legal actions against him
If you consider this it is not very likely that he was aware of the scam, since he had way more to loose than to win. Still with his reputation he should have chosen a better advertising partner or at least have enough funds as escrow to pay for the campaign. With this in mind I think I will have a lot less trust in him as a campaign manager but not any less trust in him as a person on the forum.
