Re: Blowing the lid off the CryptoNote/Bytecoin scam (with the exception of Monero)
Things are getting interesting, i like that 
Rethink-your-strategy, you showed in OP that you can verify certain claims, but honestly you should provide facts without giving conclusions atm do not assume that readers are idiots. You gave strong evidence about dates of two documents, paper v1 and v2, but this does not tell much about motives for such action. Your conclusions are very naive and now i'll explain why.
You conclude that whole original CN group had one goal and that is was to scam ppl out of their money, but actually world is much more complex than you suggest. I'll offer alternative scenario by assuming that not every person is the same and that within that group members had different motives for participation. Some may be interested in a technology, some in human rights, other just didn't wont in the future for their girlfriends/wifes to know where they spend all of their money, some wished to produce monetary platform they can invest in long-term in and finally some just wonted to get fruits of their labor quickly and non-transparently. It is not your only mistake that you do not see spectrum of possible motives, with in a group of ppl, but you neglect the fact that there are more repressive states in the World than one you have in the US. This whole 2y in deep web mining by small groups around the globe claim could have been an attempt to anonymise development path of CN, and i can hardly see what is wrong with that. After all, they are not the first who gave monetary platform and wanted to stay anonymous, remember Satoshi group? I couldn't care less if they come from China, India, Russia or Iran, as proven later they gave cryptographically solid platform to the rest of the World - a private one that is arguably more valuable than transparent one (in altruistic sense).
Without a doubt, some members of that group did have get rich quickly motives, but to conclude that no other motive exists if just ridiculous. If i was to jump to conclusions as you do i may conclude that your whole effort is to prove that every coin except Monero have devs that know the technology, which puts Monero ~1y behind rest of the CN coins, but that would also be ridiculous. Please give us facts, and skip the conclusions, things are obviously to complex to be able to conclude anything just yet.
Other thing that is dubious in your conclusions imo is that about that guy Andrei. Do you find him guilty that emails work as they do so spaming is cheap, or if he is guilty that certain OS is insecure enough so it can be easily exploited, or because of him pharmaceutical industry is what it is today? Dude, if he made botnet that does not steel money from ppl using banking services secure as they are at the moment that does tell a lot about him per se. What evidence you have to claim that he would not do something else (less dubious) if he was payed enough for his talents? You seem to be forgetting that not everyone has the same chance as ppl in US.
This brings me to my last point. Claims made not just by you, that ppl which are not native English speakers are not credible is racist crap and should be avoided at all cost! It is not important how much Hero or whatever status member has speaking like that just reduces his credibility significantly and mark him as FUDster troll, subtle in some cases but troll nevertheless. On the contrary, i see some of the CN projects as galvanizers that (first time in History?) bring ppl from all over the globe to contribute together for a benefit to all, without formal obligations and contracts. This is just beautiful, and would not be possible without the Internet. If BTC gave ppl chance to connect despite cultural differences, CNs may be leading in exploiting this opportunity.
So again, please, give us facts but do not be aggressive with drawing the conclusions. If you would travel more around the globe your conclusions may be stronger, but i assure you that this does not sound very convincing to all.
Disclaimer: I never mined or owned BCN, and I have no clue who these ppl are. I'm against premine/ninjamine generally but i do like most other consequences of CN group work.
