Proving the [premine] funds are there does not prove they were never dumped and returned.
Technically true, though I'm not sure what the point would be to dump the premine then return it... I otherwise totally agree that the premine needs to be relocked and a disbursement schedule released ASAP.

I have warned of many scams and hopefully n00bs have listened to my advice over the years and not gotten scammed because of it.
Your post history supports your claims; you've definitely done good work here. I do think you've jumped the gun a bit with Dero, but I won't argue that the missteps made over the last few months certainly look questionable. However, the sheer amount of work that has gone into the core technology of Dero is a powerful argument this is no scam; I'm sure I don't have to tell you that scams typically don't bother with anything more than slapping some proverbial lipstick on the pig when it comes to trotting out a product for shilling.

I 100% believe in Serena Fox and Mojo. They are great people with passion, knowledge and are so honest.

I'm not so sure about this, they were paid and kept silent after they should have spoken up so there's no angel wings in this for them.
That's my assessment, too. Also, the twitter campaign that Serena promoted in mid-May sure looks curiously timed in retrospect as it was done well before Atlantis was to be released. Why do a twitter campaign when there is nothing new on the immediate horizon? Perhaps because you know the actual product announcement is going to go over like a lead balloon and want to unload your bags at a decent price. But that's just the tin-foil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist in me.
