I agree with you but it can sometimes be even easier..
All a "coin poster" has to do is create a new forum account here or login to another one and simply say he is the new guy.
So since it's THAT easy i find it hard to believe it doesn't happen regularly.
Nothing is better than re-launching a coin that has died off and is hated and worthless.
It gives the guys involved a chance to scoop up worthless coins and trick idiots into buying in later.. for massive profits with little work.
This is not some secret.. this is common sense and we all know it !
And since this *may be the easiest way to make money around here it HAS to be done a lot !
Yet.. we have 100% of people involved in all areas playing innocent little angel.
If you believed what everyone said around here you would think the concept of "scammer" is like a mythical unicorn that does NOT exist. LOL
It's always someone else.. me and my coin i am pushing is legit.. the rest are scammers
Again i agree with you that the re-launch process is the simplest thing for cheaters to scamm people and the thing with new dev yes probable is the same old dev.Anyway i know in these cryptoworld you must have eyes wide open scammers got so many technics you must allways make good research on every singel coin and of course like you wrote not belive in every word from users of this forum.
