Why would the bounty manager state escrow at the beginning and then change it later. Originally when the thread was created it was showing escrowed:
I was about to ask Stalker22 where he saw that part about bounty been escrowed as I couldn't find any traces of it in the bounty thread. Is it possible to see when exactly he changed the title? It is one thing if it was changed right after bounty campaign started and another if it was changed months later.~
Yes, exactly! This means that Murat changed the topic title sometime between December 24, 2022, and May 11, 2023, but definitely after he said the campaign was over on December 24.
And this is what he posted to his followers in the Tokensfund.io TG group last year:

If he enticed bounty participants with a misleading promise about escrowed funds, it implies that he deceived them and shares some responsibility for them not getting paid for their efforts. An even bigger problem is that he had some tokens available in escrow, but for some reason, he chose not to distribute them to the bounty participants. Those tokens are currently worthless, but as Rikafip pointed out, at some point, they were valued at tens of thousands of dollars, which is not an insignificant sum.
From my perspective, a major factor contributing to the mess in the altcoins bounty arena is the lack of responsibility and professionalism among bounty managers who neglect their essential due diligence. This seems to be just one example of that.
