Honestly, no one should be surprised. A few years ago I concluded that all the reckless decision made were done on purpose to stop the project from gaining momentum.  As seen on this thread Rijk is involved with lawyers and they most likely advised him to make his money not from Guldens success but from raising funds within the community which would have zero ramifications aslong as he distanced himself from responsibility and ownership.

I think most people figured the above out on their own which is why they left like I did.

After investing in syscoin I saw the difference in a coin that wants a successful niche in the market to a coin that was deliberately sucking the money out of its community over a long stretch.

Don't get caught out with the NFT scheme or you deserve to lose your money.
