This is true.  But it is also true that this is now public knowledge, for anyone a slight bit interested in finding out about it.  When a scam is public knowledge, people getting into it, are not "scammed" any more, simply because the knowledge is public (on top of that, in crypto, scam doesn't really exist, because crypto is trustless, and scam is "breaking of trust", something that cannot happen in a trustless environment).

So essentially, people buying DASH now are not scammed.  They simply hope, like 99% of crypto actors, to get on the train of a good, knowledgeable "scammer", in order to scam future greater fools somewhat more.  As that is the essence of crypto these days, the DASH instamine is indeed, not an issue.  DASH, just like most crypto, is just a vehicle to expose yourself as a fool, and to hunt for greater fools.  In that respect, Evans did a great job, and is hence one of the better masters of crypto.
(true, some small minority actually USES crypto, but that's a dying minority of no further importance...).
