This piece of shit scam project didn't even have a bounty going yet, but you're absolutely right about projects similar to this one paying their bounty managers (and participants) in tokens--is that actually still happening? I would have figured all the bounty hunters that got scammed during the ICO craze would have learned their lesson by now. That whole "do the work for us first, then we'll pay you later" scheme is ridiculous.
I don't know what's the deal with bounty managers, but bounty hunters are still paid in those useless altcoins, and usually after many months of waiting. What's even worse, they don't even care whether some project is tagged and flagged, most of them will join nevertheless, and then come back in 6 months complaining about being scammed. Just look at
this bounty campaign with plagiarized whitepaper, and that didn't stopped hundreds of bounty hunters to join the campaign, some are even wearing their signature.
One would think that people learn from their mistakes, but then you see DeFi hype and realize that people are making the same mistakes like before, nothing changed.
That's one of the lamest, most half-assed excuses for anything that I've heard in a long time, no joke. It doesn't make sense, and I get the impression he knew he was busted and had to write something before locking the thread.
True, their usual excuse is " web developer used wrong photos" or something along those lines, but this one is new, blaming some kind of "bug" that steals other people's photos and miraculously appears on the Wordpress template. Just to add that they didn't just delete thread content, their website is down too since yesterday.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure whoever is really behind this Yieldly turd won't be deterred and will just come up with a new idea for a scam and learn from this episode (in the negative sense, of course; they'll just learn how to better conceal their scam). Nice catch, OP.
Yep, most likely they will come back with yet another attempt, and probably a bit better. Rinse and repeat.
