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.
Actually they couldn't make more because they risk not being able to dump the coins if they got caught, so now was the perfect time when nobody knew what happened. Bank robbers dont rob a bank over a period of weeks, they do it in seconds.
