Gotta go with Gizfreak on that one...
Which one? Mine? About the wallet being drained into dozens of Bitcoin addresses after being laundered?
You can just look yourself. It is real, right there. They said "all proceeds" would go to 3 foundations. Yet, the proceeds are quite publicly bring laundered and sent to dozens of different recipients.
How is that a conspiracy theory Greg? It is a conspiracy FACT that you can verify on the block chain. No theories here. Just facts in your face.
Your assumption is that they are building buy-support with those BTC's, right?
My "assumption" is that they are not doing what they said they were going to do.
My conclusion is that they are liars, stealing money from dumb people.
You don't have to assume anything when the block chain is spitting truth all over your face.
You gave your money to dishonest scum, or, you work for them.
I don't expect honesty. Most likely they had to buy some of the ICO themselves... I doubt that there were enough people to give them thousands of BTC. And they won't invest much of it in the project, because they presumably know that it hasn't future.
What's more interesting is: I'm sure that they have to fake the volume. There is not that much user-attraction. In the most viewed and replied thread on their forum only 46 Users participated. Neucoin is much smaller like they want it to seem and they will probably make some moves to let it seem something like the next big thing, but it would cost some money ;-)
Their problem is really: They can't distribute it without damaging the price. Will be interesting to see if they will be able to sell their 2% in two months. If the price should rise before, most of all people will believe it's manipulated to make some pr about the market, so the majority will be very cautious. Every time they distribute/sell they'll lose some more of the control about the price and because of the fraud-design, there is no chance to create any real value.
For me it really seems like XPY. Much noise but nothing real to show. Non-Anonymous Guys behind it but that won't help to raise trust. Than there are obvious lies and in the end there could be an investigation as with XPY and Garza. They didn't think through it and the money they can make out of it is not that much that they all will be happy about it... and at the same time they'll have to face much pressure.
That would be my prediction.
