Top vendors have already been refunded (see t.me/p2p_monero_talk for proof). Only 25k USD got lost since OpenMonero does not have any pre-funding. It is very simple. You cannot avoid hacks but you can minimize the damage with non-custodial trade funding. That is exactly how openmoenro works

The OpenMonero project is still going strong and holding up pretty well against the baseless claims coming from some so-called "trusted" community members. I've noticed a few of these trusted folks on BitcoinTalk spreading misleading info, like accusations of plagiarism and exit scams. I've been open and transparent about the hack and those plagiarism claims from the start. Even with all the flags on my account, do you really think that changes anything? These accusations are completely unfounded and lack any real proof. Honestly, you can't damage my reputation because I’m all about transparency, and my vendors keep praising the support I provide.

I have no interest in exit scams. If I did, I'd be asking for pre-funding for every published offer, which I’m not. I’m also not trying to create a monopoly. If I was, I wouldn’t have open-sourced both the frontend and backend, and I've given proper credit to LocalMonero on the official site. Yet, you keep spreading false claims about a legit, independent community project. Without solid proof, your accusations mean nothing. Nobody cares about your gut feelings.

My aim is to raise awareness and teach folks that decentralized exchanges aren’t automatically more secure than regular sites. In some cases, like Haveno, they can even be more dangerous because of pre-funding and rug puller bots. More here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5533743.msg65114988#msg65114988
