This wasn't a community takeover.. This was a backroom deal that the community didn't have a single part in.
What you mean to say is that you are tired of dealing with the coin, sold your coins, and left the coin to the community to deal with on their own and came up with this pretty lame and unbelievable story to help you drop the project.
Or,
What you mean to say is that you are tired of dealing with the coin, plan to sell all of your coins, and then created a phantom new 'dev' so that you won't get the blame when your coins are sold off.
but the coins are stil there :
2 BLTt6fbjoV94TUtKFkzb6FuQpxHUg1xGbB 478810753.39226758
3 BMTHaEYhKW9Le5eSFecssCsVHpUQXZs8Rn Developer Funds 401273678.62892354
thus no selling yet
Of course not, it would be too obvious. A smart move would be to let it sit there for a month or two and let people think it wont happen so they forget about it or lose track. Then before you know it.. well we all know.
The coins still being in the same address well after the supposed 'community takeover' should be the red flag that appears immediately.
If I had reached a deal with a person to buy out a wallet and take over as dev I would make damn sure that I got what I paid for immediately. Especially if it was a large sum of money. Dev fund is what, 4 BTC? Definitely not any amount of money I would just wait around patiently for.
He still has options though.
1. He can say that the takeover didn't reach fruition and that he will continue to be the dev. This wouldn't be verifiable as the new supposed dev refuses to post out of fear of negative feedback..
2. Transfer the coins to a new address and leave them there for a while before selling them to put on a front that they were transferred to the 'new' dev.
3. Keep the coins there and claim the private keys were sent to the new dev which wouldn't be reasonable or trustworthy.
4. Transfer to an exchange and try to sell them.
The most reasonable excuse is there isn't enough volume to sustain an order of that magnitude so he simply can't sell them right now except in small bits and is waiting for more volume.
I don't own any BigUP coins but I am part of a project that is partnered with this coin. I mentioned that something like this could happen back then and the proof is in the pudding as they say.
Thank you for providing all of your expertise. I believe you are correct.
