I think most ICO projects are hype at present, and the funds raised have not been disclosed.
It is like deceiving the investors when they don't provide the address of where the funds they collected are stored and claiming that they have raised such funds. I think this should be the requirement when they state that and show proof that they have receive such amount. Most are in ETH and BTC though so it is traceable. I have joined one bounty and proudly claimed that they have raised thousands of ETH on presale and reach softcap but when ask where is the proof and address, they wouldn't say it and always saying that they will reveal it soon. It's clearly a scam.
