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.
Yup,
I did hear that he pulled a scam with the coin as well. I had a few people PM'ing me about the same, just didn't want to get involved as i never held that coin and all i did was win the guessing game. It does look like he is banned from posting atm. I see that he has been active on the forum but cannot see any posts, so i guess the mods banned him for being abusive and threatning. Good riddance to bad rubbish in my book. Feel sad for the people who invested in his coin. I was wondering why he took me on inspite of oodles of proof showing that he was in the wrong, why he was risking his and his coin reputation for such a small payout.. now i know, it was a scam from the start and he knew he would scam everyone so his reputation just didn't matter.
