Funds Abuse by Bountysource, 3rd week #1587

Closed ghost closed 10 months ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

The 3rd Friday has passed since cashout-request, zero response from bountysource.

mamonet commented 1 year ago

@abebeos Have you got a response yet? It has been more than 2 months on my cashout request, and no penny sent yet to my PayPal or bank account. They are completely unresponsive.

ghost commented 1 year ago

@mamonet No, nothing.

If you are US based, you may want to file a complaint, especially if the amount is high (mine is $850, me in EU)

I'm not located in US. I'm thinking of starting litigation crowdfunding, Bountysource is owned by The Blockchain Group which is the entity responsible for the illegal actions and the whole mess. Since they are not paying bounty hunters, backers' funds are abused at this point and a lot of them will support the initiative.

https://app.bountysource.com/teams/ibm has over $50K open bounties.

@abebeos I'm initiating the litigation crowdfunding now, I want to discuss the description of crowdfunding proposal with you as it uses some of your github references. Do you have Discord or something?

ghost commented 1 year ago

I won't invest more effort into this beyond collecting info within

You may want to file an issue here describing your cashout case so i can list it there.

ghost commented 1 year ago

@mamonet what's your embezzled cashout ? (bounty link, amount, date)
