    So it was an escrow account manager, and they went bankrupt. I’m surprised there isn’t an easier way to do this.

      Bountysource was owned by a company called The Blockchain Group and it looks like the parent company went bankrupt taking Bountysource down with them. Its hard to say if Bountysource could have survived if it wasn’t sold to some cryptocurrency companies.
