I guess there is an assumption that the board members were paid off to not say anything about the company being bought or some other nefarious event?
I'm not implying that the board members were paid off, but I know that TAT, for one, gave up his position. I also have no idea how many shares are currently held by the board--shares could have changed hands at any point, by multiple means. I'm also not clairvoyant, I don't always know exactly how each and every scam is done. I simply allow for the fact that there are possibilities I haven't considered. Con artists who are good at their trade are as specialized as aardvarks, they study and refine their craft just like any other professional. Just like I don't expect to understand the minutia of ant-eating, it seems foolish to assume I grasp the art of the con as fully as the ones working it.
And that's all I'm saying here--not understanding how a scam works is not proof of it not being a scam. Everything beyond that was thrust onto me by ASICMINER fanbois and jittery "investors." To be clearer still, I never called this a scam--merely pointed out that the odds of losing on this are astoundingly high. Not only due to FC, but to a slew of third-party risks--exchanges, etc. The potential upside in no way compensates for this, making this a nonstarter as an investment.
Hope this is a bit clearer.
