While I know they have scammed us, I just dont understand why now?  They could have just delay delay delay, and slowly sold out coins.

Or they could have just open the platform, let people put in BTC, then run.  Its not like that would have cost them much.   They dont pay people in money, they pay them in tokens and I think you can just buy these exchange softwares for a couple hundred dollars. 

They would have made so much more either way.
