The DeepOnion fraud founder surely would just try to keep DeepOnion going for as long as possible
And then just bank $20k or whatever amount each day. Maybe even rebuy on some days to keep the price somewhat stable. I saw there were some buys for DeepOnion coins at much larger prices than its at. Like it was at $1.10 and someone was buying for $2.20

Thats also why the sig campaign is for such a long time, to cash out from this coin for a long time as they try to get "noobs" to buy it.
