Well, first of all, it is unclear what your purpose is: On one hand you state "With Drak at the helm, I just can't see how that could move forward enough so to capitalize on the window of opportunity before it shuts, leading me to believe the likelyhood of the success of this coin is extremely small (<1%). Small enough that it's clearly not worth pursuing." only to, in the next paragraph, state: "I may be at odds with how Drak has handled VIA so far, but I think he has it in him to do the right thing from here.", which mean the exact opposite... which is it?
you're just not reading it carefully enough. by "do the right thing" masternode means return some of the ICO coins.
