iantunc, bottom line is if these guys were honest they wouldn't try to bury information like they've done by editing out the fork date in the ANN.. This kind of behaviour screams scam and if you can't hear it, it's because you don't want to listen.
presstab's response in this thread pretty much amounts to "oops, coulda woulda shoulda.. didn't know HYP would be so big" riiight.. He's the cliche super friendly leader in the trollbox, tipping people for the stupidest reasons etc. This is again typical scam behavior. Spend some time in the polo box and see how quick his attitude gets ugly when anyone questions his beloved HyperScam, and watch as the henchmen David & Co. begin to appear in the box to defend their shitcoin.
A scam is someones intended action(s) or lack of action(s) that leads to money loss of another person(s) in the interests of a scammer. Did you lose money from some actions? Can you prove it? Can you prove intended actions? Can you prove a malicious interest (stop repeating about unfair distribution, it's ridiculous). This kind of behavior tells everyone that you just want to insult this coin, finding any possible reason.
