NEM Dev contacted the Exchange only after CECVW started to publicly post here (on 16th March)[/b]
You're simply lying here. None of the
devs is in contact with any exchange.
Any contacts with exchanges are usually handled by marketing team.
Well, that's not me, it's Ritchie, the BITTREX Exchange's Representative/Owner.
This is the post he left:

Bittrex was not notified of the failed attempt to attack our exchange. I was made aware of the attempt to social engineer our process on March 17th, around 1 am PST, when talking to the developers in the NEM slack........

Thanks,
richie@bittrex

The word dev in crypto land is pretty much anyone involved in a project. I'm positive some people don't even realize it's short for developer and just use it to describe anyone working in anyway on a project.
