If these campaigns are plagued with non payment as a couple of the previous posters have alluded to, then why do CM take on the job *without* securing funds to pay the campaign participants?
Becuse if they demand funds to be escrowed, potential client will just go to another manager who won't ask for that so they think to themselves "why the hell I shoulnd't accept the gig then"?
Better question is why bounty hunters keep joining bounty campaigns where funds are not escrowed. I understand why bounty managers are doing them as they usually get paid in advance (I guess) but what bounty hunters are doing and then coming here crying doesn't make any sense to me.
