It would make more sense to buy up accounts at a deep discount and never pay out to them. You could reboot the whole scheme if that is what it is.
I was thinking that as well, Chris should go around scooping up lots of accounts cheap, save himself a fortune.
Why would he do that? He took our money to build his Gen2 if they really exist and now just giving everyone a good FU and mining for himself and keeping all the coins.
