From a purely business standpoint censoring someone in the official thread that is on a rampage isnt bad from a damage control perspective; it doesn't take much for people to scurry away from something. Reference the crypto marketplace since it began haha. Being transparent helps but sometimes people are so fear driven that they are looking for any inkling that something is amiss and start rationalizing why they might be right.

Good on you for pointing this out and keeping them honest, but honestly if it is a scam then you're really SOL on that money although with the govt getting more and more involved I would say legally it's not that viable to pull anything like what happened in the early days. Either way this industry will be high risk/high reward until it really breaks out into the general populace and the corporate behemoths figure out a way to work it into their favor.

I can't think of any coin that hasn't been called a scam at one point.
