From the UtilityCoin thread:
Utilitycoin will be moving forward regardless of the Great Halloween Drama of 2014. I see nothing wrong with an investor putting his own BTC into a project to help build it into more than originally envisioned.
I understand the attacks on BlockNET - the other coin teams do not want to see 2,500 BTC taken out of the alt market when we are all already struggling. I dislike IPO also. From everything I know and see, the BlockNET project seems to be very real and not shady. I've gotten to meet members of other coin teams and forge working relationships with them, as mentioned in the latest ANN update.
One of the bright points in this crazy unregulated altcoin gambling market is having a testing ground to try new ideas and new approaches to old solutions. Having a project to bring together the work of various coins and get them helping each other is good for cryptocurrency as a whole, I believe. This is not buying or selling advice, just my personal opinion.
UtilityCoin will be continuing work and releases and we applaud all those who held fast to their investments today.
The person posting under user utilitycoin in the above quote is referencing Prometheus having financed UtilityCoin development.
There you have it from the horse's mouth: Prometheus at a bare minimum is confirmed by the UtilityCoin team to have provided funding to the UtilityCoin project. We can only assume that due to having funded UtilityCoin that Prometheus has been granted some level of authority within the UtilityCoin project.
I just see pure speculation here He does not refer or name Prometheus anywhere in this post and even if he would if he is just an Investor who cares? the fact that he will have any say in the Util dev plan is pure speculation.
Still no Evidence here.
