But why does DEV owns 30 -50% of all coins??? It is not their problem that people dumped on the buy wall, no?
That is exactly what I am not sure about! We do not know who has bought the big part of ICO and has dumped on the buy wall. There is a chance it was Dev himself. I don't tell it is him, but it is possible, because that way he got 50% of the supply for free. And that is why I suggest the Dev to refuse to get those coins - this is the only way to prove it was not he who was doing this manipulation. Burning 90-95% of those coins, or handing them to escrow would prove the Dev did not made the manipulation.
I believe they need to keep the original ICO VS MINE amount, and they should put thodr 30 -50% back for sale, maybe at lower price as they already suggested. This is a advantage for DEV (again receive some BTC), for original ICO investors (they can buy more), etc. In fact when you check the order book then they can easily say, look we dump all those coins on market at 6PM today (for example) and people need to put their orders in, if they want it. Or they can find a pumper group, sale those 30 - 50% of coins at a nice price, and this again give dev some BTC, some good move for the current ICO investors as they will pump the price a lot higher and everybody is happy.
Selling big number of coins at half the cost now is good for original investors...? Strange statement. It is good for the ones who buy now, but original ones will be screwed.
Anyway, I don't try to force Dev do something. I just tell what I think is good for the project (including Dev and all investors together). Dev is free to make any decision he wants, it is his project, and he is free to screw himself and/or the investors. He is the leader of this project. But when I believe "leader" does something wrong, I am not going to remain silent...

Why can't the Dev hand those funds to escrow, then sell them step by step after some time, after he adds some more development and earns some more trust from community (so people see he is there for long term and keeps working). Such sell-outs should be introduced beforehand of course, so community is aware and escrow can release the necessary part of funds.
If this Dev is here for long term indeed, he would do that way, and not try to get as much as he can right now.
