James ... everybody is well informed of the pre-mine. You're the only one who got a problem with that. If the coin became successfull I think D9 will have earned that "pay". I don't think he want to make qucik money using this coin or else he would  already have sold the pre-mine. I think cann will be a huge project when everything will be set up correctly  but crypto is only a small part.
btw ... satoshi nakamoto mined around 1 million BTC at start
