Other than only one person claiming they sold their coin for $20 or more after launch what do the actual stats today say? Quick checking Crypsy shows only highest price of $18 and a day after the launch?
Their mantra is on the day of the launch they did exactly what they said they would i.e. hit $20, and immediately thereafter (same day), they let it go as it was too strong.
Does it show anywhere on the day it went live it did indeed hit $20?
I can confirm that I saw on Paybase, GAW was buying XPY for more than $20. This did not last long at all. But yes, it was being purchased (from what I saw, by the time my XPY was deposited, it went to market price) above $20. You might be able to find a couple people on Hashtalk that were lucky enough to get in on the $20 buy.
