"it has a the scam coin mark on it already"  . The majority of coins have it, especially the ones which were ever in need of a takeover. "Scam marks" are generously awarded to the most coins by people like you. With new Dev those marks disappear easily by obvious reason - just because the Dev is new and has coin has a new life.

This is the easiest and most worthless thing to say: let this thread die. You obviously did not invest in this coin, so why you are wasting your "valuable" advices here? People do not need them. They need positive actions.
