You should have posted it here, so at least someone could pay any attention to your post.
Regarding scam suspicions, we (me, in particular) had very strong suspicions starting from the scam-like final bonus. It was a clear indication of scam, which reminded me of other Russian scam called HashProfit, and I expressed my frustration many times then, as well as many other folks did.
However the Daniel guy, who seemed to carry the project forward, has made us hope there is a chance this is not scam. But now I think that was part of the plan - to drop someone in, so investors keep calm, and also to cut all the tails - pay the bounties, distribute the useless coins, so formally nobody could blame them they didn't fulfil their promises, so judicially their actions could seem legit.
