The DEV team should not pay attention to the lurking scammers. You just loose precious development time to them. And by making this you feed their hope in robbing you. It's a waste of time on both sides!
Did they ever find who the original dev was that rigged the airdrop and if he still has AUR , if Eggert is telling the truth.
You can read the following and make an informed decision. I am a firm believer that the person who was behind the creation of AUR is hiding in plain sight.
MP Frosti Sigurjónsson, a member of the ruling Progressive Party and Chairman of the EATC, suggested in a blog post on his website that there is evidence that Auroracoin is an illegal financial "scam".
now look at that! This can't be denied. 95 inputs directly from airdrops in one transaction worth 30000 coins ending up at an adress which contains 273k coins.
Auroracoin is the biggest scam pulled on this board ever! The airdrop is in large parts staged. Balduro, the initiator of this scam who is hiding himself controls most of the supply of the coin and tries to launder the premine to his private adresses to later dump the coins on unsuspecting speculators and the people of iceland! It's about robbing a whole nation of their hard earned money! This must be stopped!
