If you remember Neucoin, the strategy employed was similar. Get rid of the emotional newbies as fast as you can and fake some development (additionally you can start delaying the launches) for about one year for the rest of the idiots that are still loyal, until they are out too.
Take your 30k bitcoins (20M usd) and enjoy the life as a Russian gangster, soon to be one of the richest people on Earth (when btc hits mass adoption)
WIN!
Relax bro, why so much hattress. About closing the bitcointalk thread it was because the discussions are moved now to https://wavestalk.org/ so they don't need to manage 2 forums.
