Yes, I did write that. No, it is not a contradiction. I wanted Royse to get some time to cool down before working on another gambling project, but he didn't take any break - it would've been better for him. That does not mean he was going to run off with investors money though - he refunded the only investment (0.005BTC) that was sent to him as soon as he announced the escrow structure was going to change.

Thank you for the clarification. A cooling off period may well have helped because the time from one debacle ending and the other starting was too close but regardless what did not help was the secrecy surrounding the main protagonist behind Casino Critique.

I wouldn't go so far to say that any project Royse777 was associated with was doomed to fail myself. I think NotATether is correct in saying Royse should have exhibited a cooldown period. Jumping from 1 failure straight into another project and hiding multiple facts showed me that Royse was not to be trusted.

As mentioned above, I think we both have the same take on this.

No, they didn't scam and with escrows in place I don't think scamming was possible (unless an escrow was talked into scamming, which is Ludacris due to both being pretty stand-up guys in the community), but if money was collected it would have been collected under false pretenses. It just seemed to go from a boo-hoo I got scammed by this guy to moving into a new project smeared in lies and deception. With a cooler head, maybe they would have come to their senses and started fresh without the lied and deception, maybe not I don't know these days.

Maybe as you suggest if she had taken things slowly (over say six months to a year) and maybe tried to be part owner of a another project with clearer thinking, then maybe things would have been different.

I could be wrong but I think having escrow in place was part of the plan that gave the project an air of respectability or trustworthiness. Put it this way if the project had Royse777 attaching her name to it from the start how many would have taken any interest in it? Anyway, right now, is the project really going ahead and who are the current team members? Royse777 closed the Casino Critique thread being used as an ANN here and that last message about going solely on Telegram as the thread had no use seems like a scapegoat.
