I suppose that thread with name like this should influence on the confidence of ATS token holders not in a good way at all. This is not true that ATS is a SCAM. You should not make loud claims like this.
Keep it hush, hush, eh? Be silent, you could harm a scammer... sure, I get it.
So far they have changed course more times than I can count.
They distributed tokens to their investors and 'some' bounty participants.
But the numbers I posted earlier in this thread show clearly they dumped the majority of the bounty participants based on bogus 'rules'.
They outright LIED about the distribution rules and made questionable claims about the value of the tokens.
Also many other aspects of their company (previous endeavors, companies they are still involved in, inconsistency of their claims re investments, terrible communication, etc....) - after looking a bit closer into them than we did before, ahem - raise a lot of red flags, not just for the messed up bounty program.
In different words: so far they have behaved like an exceptional mix of a scam and a technologically incompetent screw-up.
And it is VERY necessary to say and repeat these facts LOUD, and even LOUDER - until companies like Authorship either behave or vanish.
Silence is the friend of the scammers.
The people saying to be quiet likely have their ATS and are praying that they can keep things hush long enough to offload their scam tokens
