I didn't say he never published it. He did attempt to destroy the evidence, however. The fact that the code was out there and nobody caught him until it was too late is the reason I'm personally code reviewing this and also encouraging others to do the same. Additionally, we need a rich list and a more stable block explorer. We're taking volunteers for these tasks.
"trust me or don't trust me" is not really working. that's what every scammer tells you here in the announcement board.
Lie #4A real scammer will hide the code, not publish it. They certainly won't post it for public review prior to its release. Take the original dev for example, since he
took down the source code and
wiped out his website after things went sour last weekend.
the original dev published the source code with the modifications to hide the premine. he took it offline much later. very few of the asiacoin investors/victims are able to follow the code. you can hide everything in the open source code. you must be stupid or of dishonest intentions to say otherwise after this is exactly what happened in the asiacoin scam.
