It's not the first time seeing a campaign manager losing funds on the forum..the latest being
Has there really been others of this nature because, I clearly am unaware but, its bad for sure.
The purpose of escrow is always in the interest of campaign participants and then the manager but in this, it seems the manager got it wrong and for all we know, his words are all we've got and prove of finds being a moved for which, you can't exactly tell what's going on.
If its good enough for the company being served, then it might be okay although, it doesn't make the manager any less responsible for what was kept in his safe keeping.

I won't discard his excuse to have come by some mistakes this round. Its not his first time managing a campaign, bounty and signature so, this time won't be the time that we right off all the goods his done on the forum. 2017 is such a long time to have existed and throw it all away with $5k. Let's be open as we hope for more details on the unfolding case.
