Riceberry actually put it very nicely there!
Everybody knew what was meant by that statement, at least it clearly was meant to give everybody the impression that there will a buy wall that would be around the ICO price.
As mentioned, there are much better and sophisticated methods to support token price than "buy wall around ICO price". Nothing has changed, and some ICO funds will be used to support the token price in form of company buy orders as well as other marketing efforts. Some form of buy wall
s - more concretely probably rather several small ones spread through time than a single massive one - that have the highest impact will be provided. Nothing has changed and nothing has been lied about.
CCEX buyback occurred long after ICO was over. Coin IOUs were distributed to ICO participants, and they traded them back and forth with full freedom. Unfortunately CCEX jumped the gun and technically forced a buyback wall, using BTC tokens from ICO that were already ours according to the contract we made with CCEX, but never released to us at that point before sizable damage to company was incurred by the buy wall. We literally bought the HEAT tokens back to company, which is no different than buying back shares of company from the market. When one buys something, whether voluntarily or forced, the least that happens is he / it gains ownership to that something.
It's quite hypocrite to go around and demand these 300k something coins for redistribution on ethical, moral, legal basis none of which have any justification when the simple fact is we bought back those coins for the company and now own them. That hypocrisy, I suppose, is due to plain shortsighted greed in attempt to slightly increase one's HEAT proportional holdings with minimal effect as the lot is scattered around, whereas the company using that whole stack is in good position to use these constructively to further support its operations and consequently increase token price. As stated, the most likely option is that they're handed out for new Ltd shareholders in the next funding round, which effectively indeed distributes them to the user base - focused to those who deserve them and not to the hypocrite gasbags who can't see business further than their nose, making a drama bigger than life for getting a few extra HEAT for their account "for free"!
