Unpaid
Here is the list of unpaid bounties that were reported ($ is US dollar):

Individuals and companies who violated the requirements to care for escrowed funds:

Related individuals and companies
pascal Chevalier
https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascalchevalier/

Mr.Chevalier informed me that he has no relationship with the company other than having some shares.
and he can pass our complaints only on to the previous managers because the management has changed.

What we can do at least

text related individuals and call them to send money that we all worked hard for.
inform bounty backers about the problem

What else could be done

sue them (for victims who are living in Europe ( it has a court fee))
https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/dealing-with-customers/solving-disputes/european-small-claims-procedure/index_en.htm

report to AMF that Bountysource and The Blockchain Group
have violated the requirements to care for escrowed funds and
may have submitted fraudulent information about the company by
reporting the assets of Bountysource but not the liabilities (the
funds owed to bounty hunters).

@thesquash I see. I could only talk to them using LinkedIn. They replied but they shamelessly denied involvement. especially dude called charles kremer

I've sent an email asking if it's possible for us who lives outside Europe to use this service.
Guys, I know it's not a pleasant thing to pursue such shameless people like tbg owners. but we should try at least.

I live in the EU but taking a 81 euro bet to win 190 euro (+ 81 euro) back. Is a high risk for a relative low reward...

@jaapmarcus. yes true. it's so in your case. However, if you decide to pursue it inform us so we try to help you at least with a fee. it's possible that the court will happen without a hearing, in that case, it should be low.

and if possible, Could you check that site or contact them to learn in detail? Like if there is a possibility of victims outside to join it as well.
thanks a lot

Perhaps add FreeCAD? https://fpa.freecad.org/annualreports/2024.html for 4,000USD Ping @yorikvanhavre

At @FreeCAD we had in september 2023 a USD 4279.10 balance on Bountysource, not attributed to any issue.

In January 2024, we had a lawyer write a letter to the blockchain group (new owner of bountysource), stating that bountysource acts as a fiduciary (it only holds the money on behalf of someone else, it is not the legitimate owner of that money), and we as the FreeCAD project are the legitimate owner of that money, as it was given to us, not to bountysource, in the mind of the donators. And we ask that money to be given to us (less the bountysource fee). We didn't get any reply.

At this point, we don't plan to do anything further as it would likely cost more than what we would get and take a lot of time and effort...

@yorikvanhavre, do you have any alternative ways to support your project? I would like to work on some issues for money. (although I have no experience in CAD )

@yorikvanhavre thx a lot. I am willing to invest my time learning freecad source code if there will be several paid issues to be solved.

We don't exactly have a bounty / paid issue program, but you could totally pick existing issues to work on and ask for a dev grant
