I have been involved in several closed door meetings with the CCN team and for this reason I've made a throwaway account as my real account can be linked back to my real world details.
The focus of the discussion then violently changed from "How can we improve our own coin" to "How can we tarnish the reputation of cann". Many idea's were thrown around but eventually the team settled on spending BTC to hire a PR firm to run what was essentially a smear campaign against CANN. It was a well known fact that the price of CANN would plummet on the 20th (that's just how the altcoin markets work and nothing nefarious was done to lead upto the inital dump) knowing this the CCN team figured that the 20th was the best day for the PR firm to make their move.
The PR firm in question specializes in blockchain technology and upon analysing blockchains they find whatever fault they can and capitalize on it via way of organized FUD. The PR firm are the ones who found out about the so called "Hidden Premine" and then passed that info along to the CCN team who themselves have put extradionary effort into ruining the reputation of CANN.

Just a guess, but this Vanbex group sounds totally sketchy.
Hi, I'm the founder of the PR firm referenced (vanbex.com) and we weren't hired by anyone to do a smear campaign against Cannacoin.
Regarding, "The PR firm in question specializes in blockchain technology and upon analysing blockchains they find whatever fault they can and capitalize on it via way of organized FUD." Thats not correct. We actually try to answer to the fud and sometimes we agree with it, so we work with the company to fix it.
TBH I had no idea about Cannacoin before seeing this thread and not sure what the situation is with this coin. Please forgive my ignorance of the situation.
Thank you for confirming that you were in fact not hired. Quite frankly, if someone makes accusations they should provide hard evidence not shill accounts with fantastical stories.
I did not endorse Jamesonotc or Tokyopotato to do a blockchain analysis nor did I have any control to stop them from acting as individual crypto investors.
What happened with the CANN premine is a tragedy of epic proportions as it could have been handled much more professionally and through transparent accounting from the beginning by the developer. There is an inherent danger when investing in premined blockchains or ICOs that simply does not exist with pure 0% premine blockchains. This is why Cannacoin (CCN) has a 0% premine and a completely intact and transparent blockchain since day 1.
