People earn money on different ways and this guy chosed the easiest one.
This is really disgusting what he has done. But if he continue - one day he will get the payment from somebody and the most scared thing is the guy can't be catched.

It is simple. greed. most of these ICO projects cause these, they paid most of these ICO review sites money or tokens so as to get good review from them, so this just must have think it is a norm to be collecting the money from every projects

So someone had enough of all ICO scams and decides to scam the people behind the ICO's instead. Obviously the guy is a scumbag and trying to get easy money from shady ICO's.

Absolutely agree with you. He can get away with it but the good ICO projects get bad reputation. Just because some guy got angry

Maybe you're right. There are a lot of scams indeed. But there's no point to harm someone who did nothing to him. Other people scamed him, not them

This guy wanted an EASY MONEY where he can collect them in short period of time and be rich. He showed his greediness over money. Poor guy, he will never be trusted again. People do such thing because they are desperate to have a huge money or be rich. They will do everything even if they give up their integrity.

That's sad. The most weird part is that he actually started to do it after they refused. He wasted a lot of time and still did not get paid. Instead he could spend time on something better. He could search for more ICOs and offer his services to them. Maybe someone would be interested in this and he could earn money fairly

It is dishonest but that is the way things are, it is not rare for icos to pay someone to write articles favorable about them, so it is not surprise that the opposite were to happen as well, where someone asks money to give a good review and if the ico does not comply then its gets a bad review, this kind of thing happens not only in icos but almost in everything in life where reviews are involved.

Not all people are the same. There are people who gets pleasure by making other's life miserable. There are people who just wanted attention. There are also people who are too lazy to work and just want to earn income the easiest way. Its their life anyway, all we can do is pray for them that they might realize the things that they are doing and they might find peace and happiness someday.

Yes, a lot of things like that. I guess it's been around a long time and not just ICO's needing such a review. Many online business websites or online jobs pay writers for their services that write good article reviews. This is not a good way to promote an ICO or an online business. In addition can be misused, the person who writes articles can be careless and erratic. I myself have never read such a review article. I'm usually looking for a good ICO by looking at the various discussions on the internet. For example like in facebook group and online forum. We should stop reading at various review from unknown sites.

Not all people are good people, some of them prefer to look for easy money by doing bad things and they feel satisfy by watching other people fail or other people suffering and it's such a shame that people make a living by threatening other people, all of us should support crypto currency and try to create a better community

I tried to pay attention to ICO this last time. from some ico I follow just a little ico that is a scam. it's just that the opportunity for the scam is great. it can happen if the team of the project is only thinking about the benefits of each.

When money is involved there will always be a scammer. But let us not generalize all the people, there are still many people who strive hard to earn money. Scammers are shitty people who likes to take advantage on other people, don't let yourself to be victimize by them.

Simply because only money means the world to them. They are a pro and soulless people to the extend that they doesn't care what will the consequence they will be facing if they will be caught but in crypto world its very hard to track their record to reveal their identity. Scammers will never find happiness in life they just want money to live a luxury life whilst others worked very hard to earn it.

There are always good and bad deeds.When we talk about money,it's hard to control and change the personality of a person.Somebody said "money is evil".But it depends to a person,there are still many doing the right way on how to earn money.Scammers have no conscience.They want an easy money.All we can do is to stay alert and be careful always.

People have different mindset and strategy to survive, for us not right but for them maybe this is the right thing they must do. Besides that, ICO is " collect money " and I believe most people ( not all ) will do something not right to get part of ICO. As investor/ trader/ bounty hunters/ customers I suggest not do that, keep on our track to get money with right way. I'll waste my time to fix my strategy to get profit, it's worth and meaning something for me and my family.
