I see your point smooth, so DASH is the only crypto on the list to "find" unaccounted for shares post IPO and keep them instead of burning them?

If that is the case, then this type of behavior is truly scam worthy.

A "scam" is a lie or misreprentation. A prime example of which is:

"Paycoins can be redeemed for $10 each"

which of course is a false statement

Not spending a lot of money to promote your IPO is certainly not a misrepresentation of truth.
