Yes, of course. I get your perspective. But if one believes otherwise, it doesn't mean that their morals and ethics don't line up with yours in the end. Far from it.

If this were the case you would be more vocal with their behavior. Do you or do you not believe they were fractional reserve mining in the past?

I believe they are doing what they can to bring a crypto to the masses. If they were a scam, IMO, they would have cashed and ran already. Why keep the charade and the lies and the possibility of going to jail? It would seem to be riskier by the day to continue this way if it was a 100% scam, no?

Don't you see the psychological deflection and rationalization that is going on here? You just avoided the question. To answer your question there are plenty of reasons why they would want to carry this charade on longer. I have already discussed some of them.

Perhaps they want more money, perhaps they are skilled grifters and will try and make it seem like they struggled to the end to create sympathy with their victims(common technique actually happening with several cloud ponzis right now), perhaps they are warped and think the ends do justify the means and it is ok to lie a bit for the good of the community, perhaps they are being investigated by the SEC right now and they need to present a better case for the time being, ect....

Ok, back to the question.....

Do you or do you not believe they were fractional reserve mining in the past? (Notice how I am now attacking a Bitcoin company here?)

Yup, they could have been. Do I have 100% proof that they were? No. I am of the opinion that the burden of proof is on the accuser.
