It is obvious that the scammers made a big mess of themselves and have been caught in the act. No reasonable person would get involved with a project without conducting their due diligence. I checked the campaign managers profile and I found it to be an account not too reputable here and I wonder if the account holder is part of the syndicate scammers or that the account holder failed to conduct due diligence before accepting to manage the bounty campaign here and this is what it has resulted to his or her ignorance just for their greed.
I am happy OP unravelled the secret behind this scam team and project and was able to make it clear with verifiable facts which can not be doubted or hidden. I can see it for myself and have taken note of this project and team.

OP, please be aware the next time you create a flag, that the reference topic is made by a trusted user or yourself and use that to prepare the flag. Do not use the scammers topic as reference because they can edit and remove it in the click of a button.
Either way the scammer has been thwarted for now. But they will be back so be aware of the same.
I believe thread can be locked now.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't think of that.
I created a new Type 1 flag, but this time with a proper reference link (that leads to your topic) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3255
I updated OP post and added new flag (also supported), thanks
I wanted to do this, but I keep getting this message "You already created a flag of this type for this user in the last 180 days."

Why lock? You never know what others might dig up and we are still waiting for accused to reply.From this, we get his escrow address [0xdf...f9A5] and, with it, the bounty payment, which confirm my suspicion because out of more than one hundred entries [the bounty was 94 page long, and I am assuming some of them are his alt to bump the thread with fake, empty enrollment], only ten addresses was paid. The rest? It seems they're sitting in his wallet.
Nice find! How come none of the bounty hunters complained about him yet?
I think that's not the only situation here. I was a bit curious about this case because I was looking at this BM once for a possible correlation with another questionable BM [Ahmim, Crypto Dotar, and other name he use], but dismissed it as I didn't find any connection. Nonetheless, the name stays in my head.
Upon the emergence of this case, I take another look at his previous projects and got curious because the previous one, CCFI, the very one that made me curious of his relation with other BM [still not proved, so maybe I did reached too far for that matter] got deleted.
Following my curiosity, I peeked at his telegram channel and another suspicious thing raises as the channel seems also edited, all entries about the topic got deleted, the channel pretty much didn't have any discussion after the confirmation that the payment is sent.
So, I hunted the escrow address, which as below, with this TXID for the escrow payment.

He closed the thread. So that's how it should be, it worked. I would like to thank everyone for their support. I hate scammers

OP, do you mind to create a new flag, this time with a more correct reference [this thread] and not repear's thread? I can't support the flag due to the incorrect reference. The rules set to support or oppose a flag is that we believe dealing with the accused will pose a threat of losing money due to the factors being mentioned in the topic being referenced. And the topic being tied to his flag was his bounty, which brings no explanation at all. Small technicalities, but if you can do it, it'll be very much appreciated.

The following link is the correct link for the flag created by Bitum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3253
Thanks!Looks like negative feedbacks worked as repear7 locked MIR bounty thread. Let's see if he comes here and shares his side of the story and how he managed not to notice obviiusly fake team members. Craciest part about all this is that bounty hunters would keepo joining bounty campaign despite warnings and negative feedbacks and that tells yoiu everything that you need to know about ( vast majorify) of them.
Hm, I don't see any flags there. Are you sure that's the correct link?

Truly, based on the evidence in this topic regarding the MIR coin project and the previous bounty projects managed by the inexperienced bounty manager @repear7:
1- ZORORIUM BOUNTY:
Thanks for participating in the campaign. The project team is not interested in continuing the campaign so we have suspended the campaign for the 4th week.
SOURCE | ARCHIVED2- CIRTUS.TECH BOUNTY:
First of all I am sorry to you.The reason is that the project manager promised to escrow tokens within the first 15 days. But you sent me a report that the project is not getting any improvement from the campaign.For this he avoids our bounty manager charges and token escrow.And he told me he wouldn't pay any bounty hunters for it.Hired participants are not working properly.
SOURCE | ARCHIVEDIt appears that this bounty manager is not an expert and lacks competence in choosing projects he promotes, and he might even be part of them. Therefore, the flag and feedback serve as warning signs for bounty hunters to refrain from participating in upcoming bounty campaigns this BM manages, avoiding involvement in promoting scam projects and wasting their valuable time.
Although, I honestly have to admit that some of the faces from this shown team are not far from the garbage in which they are presented.
Haha good one. 
This is such an obvious scam project, and any manager worth their salt should have recognized the red flags within minutes.
I'm tagging the manager for his negligence and blatant greed in promoting anything that could generate a quick buck, regardless of its legitimacy or warnings from the community.
I like how he used "our team" while its most probably one man show doing all this. But, even one person should be enough to notice such a huge red flag as 3 team members using picture of the same person. I'm tagging the manager for his negligence and blatant greed in promoting anything that could generate a quick buck, regardless of its legitimacy or warnings from the community.
Our team has carefully researched the project following several criteria as we did for all of the campaigns we have managed or published.
Fellow users here, it seems OP has already prepared a flag for this scammer, I did not notice until just now because the flag was inactive in the lack of support.

OP, you should put the link to the flag you have created on the first post of this page so that DT members reading this can support it right away. I have supported the same, but I am not on DT, so it wont activate yet.
It would be even better if you use the reference topic as this topic rather than the scammer's topic - because the scammer can delete their thread in future but this thread would not be deleted so easily. In such case, you need to start a new flag, if you do, post it here once done.

Our team has carefully researched the project following several criteria as we did for all of the campaigns we have managed or published.
After a short consideration, I tagged @repear7 as I believe he showed gross negligence because if he spent only 1 minute checking the project he is about to promote, he would have noticed that they used the same picture for 3 different team members, on top of all the other fake pictures and previous warnings from other members that it is a scam project. Depending on his answer (and closing the bounty campaign) I might change it to neutral.
I also tagged him. A clear example of how ridiculous the bounty crap has become.
Although, I honestly have to admit that some of the faces from this shown team are not far from the garbage in which they are presented.
Here is his telegram @repear71, I have already marked him red and flagged him
here is their telegram group: https://t.me/OFFICIAL_MIRTOKEN
I was asking about bounty group, not official MIR Telegram group. After a short consideration, I tagged @repear7 as I believe he showed gross negligence because if he spent only 1 minute checking the project he is about to promote, he would have noticed that they used the same picture for 3 different team members, on top of all the other fake pictures and previous warnings from other members that it is a scam project.

Lol, what a bad scam attempt. I mean, how on earth can you take picture of a Serbian president and then use him for not one, but three different team members??
Anyway, gonna send him a PM to come here and explain the situation and of course close the bounty campaign. If not, he can expect negative feedback from me.
For several days I politely asked him to suspend his fake project, at first he ignored me, then he threatened to ban me from Telegram, saying that he had contacted the project team, they confirmed the authenticity, and I was making everything up
Can you please share his Telegram group because for some reason I can't find it. I am curious to see how he tried to defend it. Anyway, gonna send him a PM to come here and explain the situation and of course close the bounty campaign. If not, he can expect negative feedback from me.
here is their telegram group:
From their website, I see they have already done with the private sale phase and the main sale should begin on January 2024 but the token already listed on Coinstore and MEXC and worth 0.0021062 USDT/1 MIR.
Its unpopular exchanges and they probably get paid to listed the token, but at least they have to check the teams behind on this project.
If there is no explanation from them, then rug pull might happen soon because I doubt they got some money from the private sale with this lazy scam attempt.
This is a childish attempt to run a scam project.
The pictures are off high net worth Russian people and they are behind this "token" that none of us have even heard about, yet? If that was really the case investors would be fighting to get a share of these tokens and everyone in this crypto space would have known about it.
It is not uncommon for scam projects to put up famous people/established professionals pictures on their website and run it. We often have to detect these scams by contacting that person on LinkedIn to verify if they actually know about this project.
If you open a flag, I am sure a lot of the users here will support it. That is how we can save some newbies from getting scammed apart from a negative trust rating.

Vucic, Lipavsky and Deripaska themselves do not know that they have become the team of such a grandiose crypto project. And the leadership of MIR has no idea that a token was issued under their name. How can you be so stupid. Moreover, BM claimed that he received confirmation from politicians and the leadership of the MIR. I have never seen anything like this here on the forum, this is the height of dementia and arrogance
Bounty Manager: repear7
I don't know how he clarified it to the politician and then thought this project was legit as I don't think he(BM) is an important guy who is worth employing. I traced his history, this manager worked on strange projects and all ended in not paying the participants. The project team is not interested in continuing the campaign so we have suspended the campaign for the 4th week.
And he told me he wouldn't pay any bounty hunters for it.Hired participants are not working properly.
He deserves red trusts so that people will be careful with the projects he presents here in the future.
Is it possible for me to be part of a particular project with me, knowing that I'm a public figure, and I won't want to advertise my own project online on the Internet and my Social-Media-Account? Because I just went through the CEO and another persons Facebook and Linkdinl officials page, which have been receiving a recent update, and their is nothing about any project that listed their, which is a red flag.
If these Scammers wanted to create something unique, they could have used people who are not popular or even with a different name. But this makes it very easy for a person to identify, if the project team is real or not. We don't know those people who are part of the team, but a quick search on Google shows vital information about them.

What happened: the team members are famous political and economic figures + the project is in no way affiliated with MIR (National Payment Card)
