Okay I'm entering the arena of speculation...
It's not a game to them but more of a strategy. Obviously if you were important to the future plans you would be kept informed. Since you are not in the loop I would assume you (The miner, the current investor) are not an important part of the new roll out, whatever it may be.
That, if it was not perfectly clear from the initial paper, should be abundantly clear by now.
I would also think the crashing price is of the moment not a concern. Maybe they are using the low value to repurchase as many coins as possible for the new kickoff.
If someone in the real
investment world made the many false claims they have made and encouraged people to invest, they might well end up in jail.
Imagine if you were running an investment scheme and you said.."I have hired a team of traders..I have consulted with economic experts and have designed an investment that just goes up."
