You were supposed to do your own research. Bittrex's terms were completed.
If an exchange is holding an ICO for a scammer..it's their fault. Once Fincen kicks in..it'll all be taken care of. Regulation is another thing that would help keep people away from scammers like these. I was never a big fan of regulation but that needs to be done on all exchanges.
Video chat/ID proof/ Residential address/ Previous history etc..all needs to be there for every single developer on each exchange.
This EQX dev must be running around in happiness but he doesn't realize that his 66 btc won't last for lifetime and once Fincen kicks in..he will have hard time making any money at all.
