oh this don't look good to me...

i know bista from other projects (CTM, ASIACOIN, SHIBECOIN, etc.). he was also the person
detected the asiacoin scam with his team. he is honest and competent afaik. so won't ask for
money if they don't owe him money.
i don't think he is liying here. he has good reputation in IRC and cryptocommunity.
how much money they have to pay you?
maybe i can donate a little bit of it.
