Well, he did a a nice job to return the funds. it shows that he has much trust and faith in his project. he really want to see his project succeed and he needs to lead by example. i think it was a nice decision by the chef. people will believe in him and support him whenever he calls for assistance from the sushi community. NO wonder the token made turn around.
He did well by refunding those monies afterall there are some of fraudulent ones that had absconded with people funds without any trace at least he came out openly to apologizes for his misdeed and mistakes this will bring some credibility and trust in the token no wonder the token had made some pumping this will likely encourage more investors into the project and more buyers will invest in the token.
