Of course they have not walked away with the money. These guys are serious and by simply being active on their platforms you would have realized this.
I am quite active on their slack. but I don't get any updates often from the official team members, owners and devs,.I am not saying they ran away. Iconomi is a legit project. but they must give some updates time to time to keep the momentum on.
you must be ignored lol because i was updated by the ICN team on slack. which slack did you login? you sure can get update if you can buy some ICN on yobit.
the OP of this ICN was online last Nov- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=930382.0
