http://archive.is/vzH00^^above is the archive of the post that shogdite posted.
I think it is fairly obvious that ShogDite is a purchased account, and I think the original owner of vervoilman sold his account some time ago. Although it is possible that vervoilman purchased the ShogDite account.
The Phoenix1969 guy is likely the original owner of his account, although I think he is trying to make it look like he sold his account.
Either way I believe that ICO is a scam and that the numbers are being inflated in one way or another.
I don't know about the other guy but Phoenix1969 is a well trusted guy his real identity is known in the lisk community, no way he'd risk his name and delegate spot to be apart of a scam.
