What is your point?
My point is rather simple don't you think? We are talking here about massive btc donations, so a little precaution wouldn't be that bad. I'm in for the supernet idea, but that also means i investigate to check where and to who i'm gonna send my hard earned money. Is that a point or a good way to start when someone try to invest?
You do understand that some random scammer did all this asset issuing, sending trading by himself?
I cannot stop him from doing it. Or anybody else.
How does this reflect on me at all?

Just throwing a ball to play with man...don't shoot the messenger, i mean ballboy.
I don't know shit about NXT and how it works...so i could easily believe you if you give me more details about that asset thingy. But you sound irritated right now and according to investigation methods it could be a possible lead to something. So if it wasn't you....relax, calm down and give us a good story about that whole asset thing.
In NXT it takes a few minutes to create a new asset. You put in a description and some few details about how many assets, pay the 1000 NXT and the next block you have it in your account. Assets are what a lot of times are called colored coins.
Each asset gets a unique number (turns out its the txid of the asset issuing tx) and the issuing account.
There was much debate over whether to allow unique names or not and it really is an issue with both methods, but at least with the way things work, there is no asset name squatting. Anybody can issue an asset called SuperNET, but unless it is done by me, then of course it is just a fake
Once you have an asset, you can sell it or transfer it. The destination account cannot block it, we call this asset spam. Like email spam, what to do? There is one special account called the genesis acct, it is where all the original NXT came from and like in double entry accounting there is a matched negative amount. So when the 1 billion NXT got created it came from the special genesis account and that's why it has some giant negative balance. The genesis acct cant ever do any tx since it has a negative balance, so once you send something there, it gets stuck
Hope that explains it clearly enough. It is very important to verify the issuer acct. With the envisioned IPO process though, it would just appear in the trading acct and when you withdraw it will of course be the right one.
