Let's not underestimate the amount of money they have taken in, remember they reduced their mining payouts to basically zero and began selling a coin that essentially cost them ZERO.  Without a doubt, there is no way in hell that GAW pays this 20 dollars per coin for all coins in that escrow.  Most likely it goes to this "third party" in escrow as they stated, then that third party will get hacked.  Not to mention that they could themselves flood the escrow account with their own coins essentially paying themselves this 20 per coin which costs them nothing, which effectively would delay their payments to real customers to infinity.  The reason they can do this is they know they can just stake the shit out of their own coin because they own the rights to do so.
