I think that you are way too zealous on throwing stones. I don't see any part that tells that people will not be paid at all. It only tells about a delay because of the talks / certainty he needs.
I can understand that it's an unpleasant situation (plus bad timing because of the holidays), but this kind of situations need mostly patience.
I think that Royse777 will come - sooner or later - with updates and probably also with the payments (from that wallet or from another).
