I've give this a lot of thought in the last weeks. Your argument is valid and it cannot be easily refuted. You are doing due diligence and it is what real investors are supposed to do.

However, the one thing that strikes me as unusual, is the fact that they are acting completely opposite of the way scammers would act. I mean for instance, yesterday if Alty wanted to pump up the price and sell his coins at profit he could have made his tweet a complete fabrication and something to rile the people up like "Yeah we are just finishing Beta testing - the final version of OneMarket is out tomorrow at 2 pm GMT". Doing things like this could have significantly increased the profits of the devs if they are indeed doing insider trading. Yet his tweet yesterday was blank and non-descript - so the whole idea of them trying to pull such an elaborate scam is questionable.

I mean you are basically throwing out a conspiracy theory that for the last two months a group of at least a dozen people have been pulling the strings of the half crypto community. Wouldn't there be any leaks, and proof that such a conspiracy was going on, or a rumour or at least a whisper from someone who knows the devs - No. We haven't seen it such a thing at all.

Therefore, I accept your argument as having a solid foundation, but consider my points for a minute if you have the time.
