rules may change if the team wants to do it.
It is on their side to do that and there is no law on their project to prevent that.
I understand the feeling of the poster, but this is not a scam as long as the team is doing their ICO and continuing the project.
We need to have more time to wait until we can prove it.
But I think their actions are fraudulent. Since I spent my money to attract referrals. Suppose you are an investor and have invested your money in their project. A month later you are told: sorry, but we did not take into account the movement of the market, so we will not pay you anything. I do not see the difference, since in both cases you were treated unfairly.
