english not native for me, so sorry for mistakes
I think u should extrapolate this project to the real life. When u are the owner of the business and want to make it profitable u willing to do evrything to put it in this way. Many companies in real world have the growing piriod and  a crash piriod. When company growes evrybody happy (owener, investors, employees).When it startes to fall some investores becomes haters and u dont have money to pay seliary. Then u deside to lay off 50% of ur emploies and tell ur investors that u are fucked up. It happenes every single day, especcialy in hight risk buisness (hight profit expectation). There are some of them from well known in 2018 on cryptoindustry: Steemit, Bitmain,BCHvsBSV, Neo, ETC etc. There were a lot of rumors and scandals around them at this piriod. Have their investores lost money by investing in this company in the early 2018? Yes. Have they changed the game rules  on crushed crypto market to stay alive? Yes a lot of times. Will people buy BTC miner or BCH or Neo and make profit or will they use steemit in future? Yes definetly. So why at this reason betking is different from them. Have the players been scammed? No. Have investores lost part of their money? This true. Have the owner returned money (not directly invested in the BKB token)? Yes. Have the owner was changing the rules to stay betking alive? Yes. Have investors lost all their investments? NO. Betking still alive and working. I hope sooner or later all investors will recover their loosing if they are smart enogh.
