Escrow should be the first thing when it comes to financial related activity in the forum, either a contest, giveaway and campaigns. There are many incidents happened the same as this yet unfortunately we again witness such an event where the manager suffers and covers all the losses.
The fact is that some person trust other before scammed and a person considers others as he is himself. Royse himself is trusted managers and he even not think single time that the team will do this shame work. I agree with you that escrow should be must before running any compaign. in case if signature the escrow address should have atleast two weeks fund and before ine week team should be asked for fund and should pause compaign if escrow address not funded on time.
