By not keeping your hands on people's faith. Legit ICOs are a "one-step" procedure because once the funds are distributed across the blockchain, no single person can control it any more. That's the main point of blockchain technology, that it's trustless. In order to achieve this state, ALL legit ICOs run like this:
1. Collect the money
2. Emit the coins (in one step)
3. Optionally, burn the coins that haven been sold.
Result: No way for the creator to scam, except by abandoning the project, in which case someone else could continue development.
BTW, very popular NEO coin. They issued 50 millions coins, but 50% are owned by the creators. And no one complains. So, only 25 millions will circulating in public blockchain and available for everybody.
There is also one serious issue with NEO: As a consensus NEO uses a simple BFT algorithm, which is commonly used in private blockchains. How such an algorithm can work on a public blockchains? ( Because it requires trusted nodes ). This is aceptable in a private blockchain, where the nodes are known, assigned from the outside and do not have the motivation to cheat the system, but in public lockouts, by default, it is considered that any node can be an unfair "player".
But everyone is happy with NEO and it continue to be very popular, trade volume is huge.
You comparing toilet seat (ATB) and spacecraft (NEO). NEO dev have real name and decent background. While ATB have "random dude sailing and telling the OMG story" in YT and "dev" that refuses answer to any legit technical/financial question in here, neither does he want to introduce himself in person.
He just farting rainbows how good coin is and thanks all for support
