As long as iota aren't distributed, the owners not only made 0 ROI but lost 100% of their investment and missed all other opportunities in crypto since 2015.
I will refund you your original amount in this case. Give me your bitcoin address.
This would not address the "missed opportunities" issue. Perhaps a better solution is to quickly distribute the iotas so that we can concentrate our energy on other topics, for instance the iota project, by the way ! May be I am wrong but I believe that the early investors should be treated correctly.
