So you are running a scam to scam an extortionist voting Pump and Dump exchange...how do we know you aren't a scam yourself?
It is a scam. Anything having to do with paying money to cast votes is a scam.
Mintpal should also share some responsibility here, they could check the ANNs of coins about to get added, see what development is going on etc etc.
It's clear to me the next winner is not putting those votes in because of a massive community.
