I was just trying to copying all this staffs & post here. But u did before me. By the way i was participated in the bounty thread. Suddenly all thinks gone or disappear. Where there is lots of rewards it is highly chances to be scam. Many have fallen apart into this deep sea.

After launching their bounty they haven't made a single reply from their end. I have just checked their Bounty ANN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5276747.520) and sorry to say that still bounty hunters are submitting there weekly report without checking the website properly. Their official profile was active yesterday but keeping silence from their end.

Both of their official telegram channel is not exist now and website is completely dead. Although still we haven't got any victim's accusation against them but its clearly showing here that they have already shut down all their activities.

Just a heads up - This is some reason why you shouldn't join a bounties if the project is copycats of hype or good project, because most of them only scam and took advantages of the original coin/token [1]

When this happened its called rugged pull on the trading and uniswap world. As a player on trading dealing with these shitcoins. There are plenty of scams like that especially when their token sale or presale has been completed. Everyone who are looking for profits should be wary on these kind of investment. Im trading some of these shitcoin somw gave me easily x5 or more but in a game of trading there are some loses like when the project ended with an exit scam.

My advise is to avoid these Y shits if you are a kind of conservative investors and also those who have lack vivid informations.

There are many copycats right now that starts with letter "Y" and "U" and ends with Finance or Swap. To be honest, it's really hard for me to believe that the project is legitimate if the team is anonymous and refuse to reveal themselves. Even though that they might get listed on Uniswap or so, there are no such guarantees that a project would be legit. I don't just simply see the team on their websites, but to deeply check their LinkedIn accounts if they are new, inactive or established. I'm just sad that most of my crypto colleagues who are addicted in airdrops don't care about these scammish websites' integrity and credibility. In the end, it's just lessons learned.
