I cant prove it, but I am convinced it started as a scam, I was there from the very beginning and I had several hints, that they wanted to scam people.
From the mail contact I had and the many bans of my friends in the beginning it was relatively clear that the inner circle itself wanted to collect the airdrops and tried to exclude many participants with mean methods.
Don't know if they try to be not scammers atm, this is possible, but I dont follow the development nowadays, I am not interested in this coin anymore.
