Cryptsy was the first exchange to add it, most likely in the hope that all the volume would go to them. Either way, I still believe that this is a exchange created coin to generate volume so that they can make money from fees, nothing more. Its a scam and if I am correct, you can expect criminal investigations, as these exchanges are based in the US.
Who knows what the hell is going on... cool conspiacy theory though, bro. All this is based off the dev being incommunicado since launch. Ya, it looks bad.. ya, it likely **is** bad. But, it could also just be a number of other mundane explanations. Or even something totally off the wall... maybe he got hit by a fucking car. Who the fuck knows. In the meantime lets keep spinning tails of intrigue and wonder.
