You can also see him as the one who was trying to make something from paycoin after Garza ran away with all the investors money. Now that it became clear that paycoin would never work out he gave the opportunity to leave the paycoin debacle and have a new chance with ion. You didn't have to pay a single sathoshi for converting your xpy to ion. Ion may or may not be succesful. But at least you are given the chance to make some money out of it. Something you would have never made if they would have stayed with Paycoin.

Did he scam you personally? If so i'm really curious what he did to scam you. Because if he did people have to know.
