I think livecasino.io managers also say they have funds in escrow and they personally hold them, like Royse777. So I think suchmoon is right.
The difference in their case is that they don't have money problems (at least that we know of) and both of them have to agree to move the funds.
Do we know for a fact that Royse777 has money problems severe enough that he'd be tempted to steal $2000?
I do not recall anybody alluding to that effect and I too doubt that $2000 would a tempting amount for either Royse777 or anybody else trying to rebuild their reputation to exit scam. It is highly unlikely in my opinion.
Here is the problem, or at least how I see it. Royse777 seems to be trying to rebuild his reputation. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a whole other discussion (I personally am a big fan of second chances but not so much of 3rd/4th/etc chances). The point is, he's doing it. By engaging in an activity that he's good at as far as I know.
Keeping the Casino Critique and Bitlucy episodes aside, this where Royse777 deserves credit for trying to rebuild her trust and trying to do it by campaign managing.
I have no idea who and what is behind the sinbad.io project or even if it is trustworthy but Royse777 has attached her name to it therefore I hope this does not end with piles of complaints from users that sent crypto intending to be mixed. In the general sense it is a risky strategy associating your name to a business if due-diligence is not applied because it can ruin the reputation and in many cases due-diligence is applied and things still can unfortunately come crashing down.
This is not an endorsement. For all I know he could do just fine with $2000 but build up to a larger exit scam later. Just saying that this escrow set up alone is not an indication of anything nefarious.
Usually having a third party escrow provides some form of protection depending on the record and respectability of the escrow but does not guarantee anything, likewise having a set up such as this one for sinbad.io (where Royse777 is escrow as well as campaign manager) it is normal as virtually all campaign managers do the same.
