After some research, I found the co founders auto repair business in Maryland and I spoke to one of his employees and left Noland a message. Noland called back but I missed the call and I received an email update.

Hi,
Following our previous update we want to announce that EVERYONE will be receiving its ATS tokens IF there are no more than 3 registrations from the IP he registered with. This is our final decision.
We've already begun to process payments as it can be seen here: https://etherscan.io/token/0x2dAEE1AA61D60A252DC80564499A69802853583A
Regards,
Authorship.com Team
yeah, basically the same what 'Peter' has been posting on Bitcointalk.
In any case - even IF we still get our tokens - it is a massive PR disaster and has shown that their team lacks both professionalism and a firm grip on the technology they are building upon.
Rant emailed, rant posted to website, half-assed retraction, but no public statement, rant deleted from website, tokens yes, tokens no, double tokens for some...
No contingency plans, poorly executed, terrible zig-zagging, user blaming, etc.... if they run the actual Authorship platform the same way that they dealt with this bounty screw-up... they are doomed.
And it will impact the value of the ATS tokens.
Investors will NOT be amused.
