Of course not, no one receive upfront payment

Woo, monbux join the campaign

This is good sign right
Is it a good sign?
Notice he didn't even apply to join. You won't find his post anywhere in this thread. And yet he joins the officially closed campaign. So there are 2 options:
1) monbux is not even aware that he's enrolled, or
2) carra breaks his own rules and grants monbux a back-door entry to the CLOSED campaign.
Did carra actually explained why he don't want to escrow the funds? It may seems like he's avoiding the subject.
There is a clear demand from participants for the trusted escrow. They were willing to do the escrow in the old/original campaign thread. There is a trusted member who is willing to escrow for free. So what's the problem?
I'm not accusing anyone of scam, but something is 'not-quite-right' with this campaign.
