If the anonymous developer then avoids from having to take on more risk. This certainly was a better decision that must be signed but not trust with what is running. This is the same as like gambling which the ICO legit results and not be visible at the end of this time and even be a hoax then not realize it and even late.

Read, read, and read some more.  Scan the internet.  Preferably find candidates with real people who are actively communicating.  A lot of ICOs are now governed by regulatory agencies so that should make fact finding about various businesses that choose to use an ICO as funding/contract vehicle.  

Of course it is difficult to find a decent ICO project for investment. I choose the project that is already being traded on some exchanges and has real work experience in its particular field. You can invest in such projects with the least risks and possible good earnings.

I think that at the moment it is impossible to find out reliably, but you can distinguish more good ICO, from fraudulent, but it still can not be 100 percent sure.

 I always look at team strength - are there industry experts, legal advisers, people with past success, marketers, and of course developers, then technolog. Is a security plan outlined? have previous bugs/problems been resolved? And for sure check code open source with activity in GitHub or not. and of course solution. Ask myself: is the problem real and the solution feasible?"

In principle, this is not difficult, the main thing is to conduct a detailed analysis of the ICO, project, team and documents!

its nearly impossible to find a legit/trusted ICO in my opinion.
But you can go an take some free Airdrop Tokens from some new ICOs thats what i done .

Real talk, there are 95% of all ICO's that are not legit and will end up scamming or running after reaching their target/goal.
Then 5% of it will remain as legit and will end up continuing their goal or project until the end.

So let's say if there are 100 ICO's therefore there are only 5 ICO's who are legit. Therefore the best answer to your question is, no professional individual that can tell that it is a good ICO and legit.
You will be lucky if you can join the right ICO, thought there are few means that you can hold on to found a semi legit ICO. Research their team, project, origin of the project, business registration number, roadmap, whitepaper and review from other forum members.

I think it is really hard to find out a legit ICO because even I always careful in participating some ICO I still ended up participating scam ICO because as I read and research their projects and teams they also have the same purpose in their target success in the future that's why I couldn't say that I always participated a legit ICO in the past year.
