This is just uncalled for, and such act should never be condoned in the Crypto space. All these cheating just have to come to an end.
This thing will come to an end when you (and by that I mean bounty hunters in general) will stop joining bounty campaigns that are not escrowed by your bounty manager. Since we all know that it won't happen and that you will continue to do the same thing you will end up getting scammed, like in this case. No one else can ave you from yourself.
Considering the ICO price of token was $2.8 (and I guess bounty pool of 5000 CIFI was based on that price) and now it's ~$36, I am not surprised at all that they decided to stop with bounty distribution. It's not a valid excuse not to pay bounty hunters of course, but its probably one of the reasons. And yet another lesson to be more careful when joining bounty campaigns as more often than not you will end up with nothing.
People hard work in promoting cifi project is not a joke. Cifi team is a great scammer.
It sucks that you got scammed, but that narrative about "hard working bounty hunters" is a bullshit, especially coming from a someone that is tagged for shitposting. Bounty hunting is probably the lowest possible form of crypto work, with the lo amount of effort needed, hence the reason why so many can do while having dozens of alt accounts.
