Then again, the thing I don't understand is why he waited to get full bounty pool since it was mentioned in bounty thread that tokens will be sent in batches of 25% to avoid dumping, and those 62.5k sent is indeed 25%.

I take another look at this situation, I think the initial agreement was that Murat will be the one distributing the whole payment in batch, so they'll send him 250,000 and he'll split them in four installments. If Metropoly planned to send the payment to Murat in batches, I think they'll say something along the line, "this batch payment has been sent to your BM". Instead, their TG admin said they've paid him
in full, and then refused on providing the TXID, arguing that it's a... private matter.
edit: I dig further, apparently, the discussion about this payment continued on their telegram channel after that thread I mentioned earlier concluded. I think it's a classic case of a project being cheap and breaking their own commitment. Murat finally posted his deal with them around one month after last post on that accusation thread, and I don't know how any of you read it, but I think the initial agreement can be read that they will pay 250,000 token, worth [hopefully, if pre-sale succeeded] 100,000 USD, which they later revise that the allocated token is something worth 100,000 USD.
So, the way I see it, the contract will either be 250,000 token, or 100,000 USD-worth of token. There is no info about how much does it worth during pre-sale as
their tg group for discussion is not available anymore, so I can't track past discussion for their price, but if I may infer from what Murat say above, and what's shown on their website for their token sale, it was around 0.1 USD. So, if they claimed they've pay Murat in full, according to the token allocation they set by themselves, it should be either 250,000 token, or... 100,000 USD worth of token rated at 0.1, thus 1,000,000 token.
As for why he didn't send the 62,500 token to the participants, it was also covered on their bounty group,
