there are so many reasons why would they do that, logically speaking. If they wanted to stabilize the price, they could pay them(the hunters) with BTC or ETH directly. But they did not, does not that mean they did it on purpose?
finally, someone can guess it, yes I still think positively until now, I hope they make the right strategy to prevent falling prices at the current market situation.
Thank you for strengthening my confidence in the project.
