Just think about it.
they were doing ICO so they know for sure they need the escrow for it. who in the right mind right now would do ICO without escrow. we all know these guys aren't newbies here in bitcointalk. they do have high rank account here, in fact they can give me a red trust for asking how this ICO come to realization without escrow but then of course they won't be doing it because they'd be busted.
Escrow is not the issue if they have supported for a community for long time. The current issue is the bitcoin fund address, I also doubt 1400 btc raised is a bluff or hype, until OP shows the fund proof
The proof of long time? I never seen this site in the community, I am close to bitcoin community, none of my friends have known this site. So if no proof, you are just spread fake news.
