EOS recently dumped lots of ETH. You guys think maybe they are trying to damage them and looking to show the community that they will be the better alternative? Or maybe theyre just paying wages who knows 
If they really have dumped lots of ETH, I think it would be a bad move to buy their coin at the moment since times like these are the most common reason for mistrust in team. I guess if they left some ETH behind(if it is above 30% of what they have recently), then they might not abandon the project just yet. Always be watchful in their movements though as they can abandon it if they dumped a lot of ETH from their address.
