Well, they are at it again and again and again. The only thing they seem to be consistent in is trying to pilfer more money off their delusional base.
They asked for $45K in cash to implement "stealth transfers" in BTS 2.0. Some poor schmuck over there decided he would give them $45K of his own money if he could recoup it in stealth transfer fee. (Although I suspect it may be a rouse. They have some "plant" offer up his money in hopes that it "inspires" the people with actual money to hand it over.)

LOL. The level of gullibility over there is unbelievable. I'm sure it's an absolute hayday over there for the Larimer Gang robbing these mental midgets day in and day out that they like to call "investors". I know that it's hard to imagine that anybody could really be this stupid and that this has to be another one of their rouses, but keep in mind that the intelligence quotient over there is sub-zero.
@ your OP... they decided eventually to release Bitshares 2.0 under the MIT license, so basically your whole OP is rubbish now.
Yeah, I guess that scam was so obvious that they had to obscure it by releasing the code as "open source". What a crock. The fact remains that Cryptonomex Inc is actively attempting to sell their "product" to third-parties which will cut out all current Bitshares' investors. Think about geniuses... If they are able to convince a company with greater liquidity than Bitsnares to have their own USD chain who is going to end up the winner? The company with liquidity and money for marketing or the poor schmucks who just bought the Larimer Gang / Chicoms last Bitsnare?
