Well.. it certainly looks like the original owner of the account was either hacked or sold his account and coin. I am going to go for the latter. The original dev seemed a level headed guy and probably sold his coin and all related accounts including the website to the retard we have been dealing with. This seems to be the only plausible explanation for the dramatic change!
I agree thatit is porbably what happened.
I think the early posts in the BootstrapCoin thread were written
by him as well, then he decided to sell his account or whatever.
Possibly he and his "successor" split the btc they got through EmpoEx.
The other strange thing is that he registered the name quite a long time
ago, so he had the intention of developing "BootstrapCoin", even though
he did nothing about it for many months. Maybe he had some legit idea
at first, or maybe he was thinking of pulling a scam right from the start.
