Did someone check their team and whitepaper?  Someone  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091558.msg49241798#msg49241798)did, but never got a real answer.
Since there is no archive of their website and whitepaper, it is hard to find out if they had a fake team or a plagiarized whitepaper, which would be the first sign of a possible scam.

We found their team images posted on this website (https://archive.is/y1aQp). But due to the small size/resolution, it will be difficult to prove if those images are real or not. Also note that there are no links to a profile.

someone posted a larger image of a team member here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091558.msg50232248#msg50232248) (taken from a screen????)

The text on this website  (http://cryptocentral.info/topic/4159/asset-split-network-ico)about them is plagiarized from many sources, here is one of them:

Maybe Bounty Managers before accepting the job should always archive everything - whitepaper, website, etc...

How do we know if the BM (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=516369), in this case, did his due-diligence? There is not evidence of anything - all deleted.

Should the BM (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=516369) be accounted for this? If the BM doesnt have any evidence that proper research was done before accepting the job of promoting a project that ended scamming participants/investors, we believe this person should be somewhat responsible and this person trust should be affected.
