Royse777 will not pay anyone for the last week, but the Sinbad Bitcoins will still be in his possession.
If this manager does not pay the participants of the campaign, then one of the participants should bring charges of fraud against him. Otherwise, on what basis does he decide for others what and to whom to do with his payments? If he is concerned about the safety of others, just let each campaign participant send a new Bitcoin address to which the debt will be paid.
People, do you want your money to be kept by Royse777? Just because he cares about you.
The case is serious and I am considering not to touch any funds that is in the escrow address right now unless I speak to a lawyer. This means no one is going to receive anymore payments unless I have a direction from the lawyer. It's for the safety of everyone.
I do not participate in campaigns managed by Royse777 but I have an opinion on this topic. So, let me give my opinion based on what I know about what constitutes a scam, although I have the freedom to express my thoughts on all topics published here unless a topic has special requirements that make it impossible for me to leave a response.
Fraud is an effort carried out intentionally to benefit the person of the perpetrator at the expense and harm of others. The definition of fraud can generally be found in many sources so that you can interpret the truth.
From what I understand the meaning of Royse777's statement in the part you quoted in the OP, Royse777 has not decided not to send funds to participants as a result of the work they have done. He will not touch the funds from the escrow wallet to avoid things that impact him such as legal problems. He also made an exception, he would only pay if there was direction from the lawyer.
Royse777 publishes publicly about the funds it has and explains what it will do with these funds.
From which point of view a campaign participant can make accusations — to him that he committed fraud. CMIIW
