From what I have gathered, the sale of the Cryptsy coins has occurred in agreement and distribution should be in about a month. I personally communicated with the party handling the sale and it sounds like the purchaser of CBX bought a bundle of the low liquidity coins. What this individual intends is yet to be identified but they will now be the largest stake holder in CBX (outside of the escrow for SPK).
My next question will these coins still be made useless with the introduction of the new chain?
We have discussed this. There will be no making useless of these coins. They exist on the CBX network and that will never change.
There is however a potential of creating a new coin / chain that does not include these coins but nothing is in motion towards this possibility at this time.
