Yeah, it's stuff like this that makes crypto look like a scam to the outside world. $4 billion given to an extended ICO with no working product. When they finally launch the completely centralized mainnet, it's a disaster, but the price goes up. They suffer constant hacks, but still the price goes up. We saw the same thing a few months ago with Verge - a complete joke of a coin, but people more than willing to throw their money away on it.
But people don't want to learn. I bet 95% of EOS holders have absolutely no idea its a centralized scam. They just spam "great team" without realizing the team are scammers who are already cashing out and abandoning EOS for their next cash cow.
