Well, what's the point of announcing the coin as "bcrypt" while it's in fact scrypt, if not for giving your own ASIC miners an advantage until others find out they can mine with scrypt, too? If he announced it as "scrypt", he couldn't make as much profit because people with scrypt miners would consider the coin from the beginning, but due to the misinformation, I would expect huge profit.

Now, the huge profit still remains pretty large after the 1/10 restart, and in addition to that the evidence for the first step is removed from the blockchain. So, in essence this leads to an altcoin with a 500 block pre-mine, which is announced as 0% pre-mine, and the community even says "thank you" because of the big words about redistributing the coins, while the largest part is probably "redistributed" to the scrypt mining addresses that were put in place from the beginning.

While we will probably not be able to prove if this happened, it would at least be the most logical explanation for a lot of things that happened since this coin launched. And I must admit, it would be a pretty smart scheme for having a nice pre-mine for yourself, while giving the community reasons to agree to it...
