Trusted managers are not the 100% indicator that you either get paid or get a good payment. Remember that managers still have the choice to stop the campaign once it was brought to light that the project was a scam. Imagine working for 3 months, but then the BM stopped the campaign due to a lot of scam accusation that were brought by the scam busters here. People should still do the usual "DYOR" before hopping in into something regardless of who is in authority of the whole thing.
It is my personal belief that trusted managers are not always able to pay hunters well. Because it doesn't depend on them. They always want to bring a good bounty but if a bounty gets scammed or the project team doesn't do the budgeted token distribution then it's not manager's fault but I think trusted managers are more likely to get paid from other managers.
