I disagree that it should trade for less if the BTC verifies on the explorer. The BTC is worth its value and there is certainly a premium for this coin.
The idea of one of these coins surviving the scam and remaining loaded is nice, but the problem is the enormous long-term risk of holding the coin. If this were my coin I would peel it and hold the coin for my collection (or sell it peeled). Hodling this one seems way too risky. These are scarce coins that will sell well peeled, it just takes the risk factor off the decision tree for an interested buyer.

I'm adding this though, I'm not sure this particular coin is one with questionable security that received incidences of being swept.
I think you may not have considered the additional factor of 2FA= double scamtastic. Scamtastic is enough to not touch with a 10 foot pole but a double scamtastic, cmon man! How about you take that chance, lol.
You're right. I don't think I totally understand the scam. So the BTC can show on the blockchain, but not be there? Or are you saying that the BTC is there but as you initiate the 2fA process there is a runaround that actually sends the funds to another account? Definitely curious to learn how this works.
I just looked up Alitin coins and remembered they do not have a hologram and private key... ah, I get it now.
Yeah, quite the dilemma thinking about how to sell this coin. I would roll the dice and see if the BTC is there. I would feel horrible, just me, if I sold this and then the next shlub found there wasn't anything there.
