Before you jump the gun too quickly, you should remember that Casino Critique did not scam anyone so it is inaccurate to say that Royse777's association with it adversely affects his reputation.
For what it is worth, I agree with you. Casino Critique did not scam anybody but just like you if I were on the verge of investing 0.04 BTC in a project, I would avoid investing in one that had Royse777 involved in it. By simply having Royse777 associated with any project would send out warning signals and alarm bells ringing to avoid it.
PS. I was ready to invest 0.04 BTC with Casino Critique. I probably would not have had the confidence in doing so had I known that it was Royse777 raising the money, with him being fresh off the heels of the BitLucy snafu and all, with him saying he needs some time to cool down from it.
