NEM had no value back in early 2014 - to create multiple socks required extreme foresight that it was going to be something special, when back then the initial plan was going to be a fork of NxT (NEM has since been independent code and a great development team).  As well it was foresight to assume there would had been no taint analysis (hundreds of socks were removed from the stakeholder, or never got on in the first place).

CFA has no socks in NEM.  Regardless, if he did, pocketing thousands is a very trivial amount considering there are many coins on here where initial investors often dump their share within weeks / months for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars (occasionally even million).

Congratulations you made thousands when other people, who don't brag, made $10K to $1 million off other coins.  NEM in my book seems to be very well distributed and egalitarian in that many people, if NEM does succeed, will be able to benefit it from it going global versus the exclusive (tiny) oligarchic communities of other crypto currencies.
