The rocket has not yet launched but so much negativity & FUD already spreading and ICO is still in its 1st week. And dev is putting more flame to the fire by making such statement.
2) You are killing the project with all this drama. The funds we collect will be used entirely for our project. If you are exaggerating the whole thing and accusing without evidence, you will be responsible for killing a legitimate project. That is, there are people in the forum who want us out of the field, before we have not even begun.
This is typically an exit statement for a scam blaming a few people that they killed the project by spreading false rumors or accusation of scam. A few people cannot take down a big project if its an honest, trusted and offers innovation. So all dev has do is to rebutt the false accusations and prove the project is intent in delivering its promises.
The success of a project is partly delivered by development team but more importantly, the investors willing to gamble their precious BTC on unknown devs promising lots of things, who they will never meet or have heard of previously.
