That is half accurate. Initially I bought into vanilla, but I liquidated my holdings at a decent profit prior to collapse. The reason was two fold, I found out that John told some people that he knew me personally from the Butter-Bot project, which I knew for a fact was not true and then he deleted a post I made about this and some other observations I made and booted me from the forums, he also stopped answering my PM's so that triggered me getting out.

I actually learned a lot form that experience and I was lucky not to loose money.

Here is a small sample of my liquidation dates for Vanilla (the full list, because of the way Polo does it, is actually several pages long):
