I think calling it a "scam" at this stage is reckless talk. Stuart may not be the most professional, I agree because I have seen it myself. VIce is a SMT on the Steem blockchain. If they don't launch a web site then I think "scam" is a fair word. Just because you got sideways with Stuart definitely does not make Vice a Scam.
