Daniel is playing the careful game of disassociating from GG whilst trying to avoid any public backlash from doing so.
This means engaging investors on the forum, but only privately. (The majority of ICO buyers were never active on Telegram/GG and likely never used the app.)
GG is a huge liability to his reputation. Even if GG wasn’t a failed project, or a scam, just being associated with crypto is bad enough when trying to sell software to the banks.
If he reaches any success with PayKey (doubtful), the spotlight will soon find GG, and he will immediately leave the project, if he hasn’t already by that time.
In spirit, of course, he left GG about a year and a half ago, and hasn’t talked about it publicly since.
