No. "trust me that I will do something great with your money and eventually return it to you, I promise" is not part of the deal when you buy a token.
1: Some of the deals are "Someone built this thing which is now out of their control. But this thing can be used with these tokes. Want some?".
2: Some of the deals are "I built this thing which is now out of my control. But this thing can be used with these tokes. Want some?".
3: Some of the deals are "I built this thing which is now kinda out of my control. I might be able to change it later, but only if the community stays behind me. Anyhow, this thing can be used with these tokes. Want some?".
