It could very well just be the devs themselves buying up their own ICO coins. Can't exactly blame crowdsale.io for that as all they do is host the ICO by providing an easy to use medium for investors to invest their coins. What you decide to invest in should be your own responsibility considering how ICO scams are nothing new around here.
Not sure what you are on a bout many got coins after ann was posted. I did. See it yourself. https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1NPcouEBR2ffFd4RhBuHP9N1wKeYVNveh7 I saw this on my twitter feed. BTCtalk was down around that time. Don't be so salty.
Other than you i see no one bought after the ANN, oh wait, after checking your BTC address looks like you bought a lot more, and started buying even before the tweet:
Here you go:
the address https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1NPcouEBR2ffFd4RhBuHP9N1wKeYVNveh7 got btc from https://blockchain.info/address/1PejTqLGtEX2jTFJig3WV6AioC2h4hnwAw now following this last address there seems to be a pattern of sending coins to the ICO address: https://blockchain.info/address/126mGGWgocmaDXYPkZeLW9QXK53gcVcdAs
Like this: https://blockchain.info/address/1PejTqLGtEX2jTFJig3WV6AioC2h4hnwAw ---> intermediary 1 or 2 addresses ---> https://blockchain.info/address/126mGGWgocmaDXYPkZeLW9QXK53gcVcdAs
So all buys originated from the same address, here are just a few:

Don't tell me i'm salty or trolling, you have proof now. BUSTED!!!
Next time use a decent coin mixer
Yes the devs were caught red handed buying their own ICO, but the site is linked with this group as it hosts their ICO with the same pattern, and many people got their orders refunded even if they showed in the ledger for hours. So i guess crowdsale.io is the scam platform for this group!
