I'm a bit confused. Looking at the bounty thread, I think the payment will be in SSC and not USDT? But the BM received USDT and unilaterally trade it for aevo tokens [whatever that is] and lost significant value of the escrowed fund? What's the price of SSC right now? I assume they, the SSC token, have dropped very significantly and the BM can still "fulfill" their obligation to pay SSC to their participants?

That crooked-but-fulfilled obligation aside, BM's decision to take their own decision to trade the fund is definitely warrant a big question of their competence, and I am supporting the flag just for this reason because they're clearly can't be trusted and people will be at risk of losing fund if they interact with them in any form.

But... the project itself is also questionable [though it's a bit moot, given they've rug pulled, so it's kinda proven that they're indeed just another trash project] because they send USDT instead of SSC, while the "contract" said the bounty participants will be paid with SSC. I am correct this far?

Then I assume they expect the BM to buy SSC himself, thus create a sudden surge, of which I assume they'll use the opportunity to dump their reserved token before bounty participants can dump theirs.
