I believe these types of deals will become far more common over the coming years. While I don't agree with the last minute notice of how this went down, i'm equally not surprised by it. IN the future it would be nice if these deals were broadcast a week or so before any ICO contribution period, that way folks can choose to participate or not participate after giving it some thought and research. To the extreme of calling this a SCAM and creating FUD, this seems to be going too far. If you want a heavily regulated market go participate in IPO's, those occur all the time. I suspect those are more rigged than most of these known ICO's, but you might get the feeling of knowing what you are buying into. Too each his/her own. When the coin is distributed and listed on exchanges sell if you don't like the project, hold, or buy more if you think it will go higher. Simple as that.
