because they never had to move the premine. That is what was slightly clever about this. They got members of the forum to send them many times the premine amount. that allows the premine to sit safely untouched while they sell.
Well, I get that, but when you dump the coins the ppl have sent you for the miners; and decide to abandon the whole thing, you could have dumped the premine too, it wouldn't have mattered, right?
If you know you're getting out, and got like 2 or 3 times 0.15 btc, why don't you add an another 0.13 to it? What's the point in holding?
So people wouldn't call it straight-out a scam? 1. They will, anyway. 2. You could have gotten more out of it.
It's just stupid to leave it.
Maybe they are stupid and missed their chance to sell the premine at top price but if they had moved it on Friday they wouldn't have had people buying and sending them coins on saturday. Also keeping it there now is giving you a sliver of hope right? That's reason enough to keep it there I would think.
