4. Is ICN run by scammers or are they just trying to drive down the price and not adapt to crypto.
NO: They either got in bed with a bad co-founder, and have no reasonable recourse or their PR contract dictates their level of comms which may very well state that they should not commit to official stances during community based conversations.
Good man.
Now look at the fact that just over 50% of the total ICN is still sat on the ICO site.
I hope you'll agree that this point compliments your own.
