Also, Smooth looks like you too have a personal newbie 
1. I have one and only one login on this forum site, unless you count the monero shared login, to which I have access (but rarely use, and then, so far at least, only to help maintain the information posts). EDIT: Nor have I ever in the past had any other logins.
2. I agree that pump-and-dump has gotten much harder, as the community has learned to avoid premines and such. This is a good thing.
As far as the bytecoin devs, it this is in fact what happened, my guess is that they got the idea to put a little public gloss on their project and try to cash out of their coins with a PnD some time ago, when coin prices were higher and the healthy skepticism toward premines and other PnD schemes had not matured to where it is now.
1. Just joking man, don't sweat it.
2. Maybe it is the case. My point is that I think you got a little drifted away with conspiratorial theories.
Tho as I mentioned before I agree with you on some points of shady marketing. It's just the general idea of the huge scam from people who created such advanced product is somewhat questionable.
