They are paid shills, quite obviously. Nobody would be even posting on this dead coin were it not for some external motivation. Who they hell would be a "fan" of a near-dead coin trading a few satoshis after a failed attempt at an 82% fraudulent premine. That defies logic. Egor their are paid shills. The fact that its the same few dozen nicks that have been posting almost since the whole "look what I found!" charade makes it more obvious.

The concerning part is that the scammers behind this have not been caught and likely learned from this failed attempt and are trying again (perhaps more than once). What are their other scams?
