It is silly to assume that you or I have any influence upon the price by our insignificant posts on an obscure forum. I'm not trying to influence the direction of the price, because in the end investors are going to buy and sell regardless, but just to educate others and potentially warn developers ... but I'm sure they have already been reasonably compensated if things go bad. If you are aware of the risks and still buy than you are at least an aware investor willing to make the tradeoff of risk /reward.
