There is a lot of talk ongoing about how the "investors" were "screwed" during the swap.
First of all, 99% of these "investors" have not actually invested a single cent in the project and received thousand of tokens from the airdrop which they have been holding in hopes of a high return, without actually offering any support for the project.
For those who actually invested, it is indeed an unfortunate scenario, but again, the responsibility is the investor's, especially in a space like this. If you have a bag invested in a project that is clearly under the radar and is not listed on any top exchanges that would make a potential swap for you, you absolutely need to be constantly in touch with everything that is going on with that project.
Despite its small size, the team is rather active on social media. Discord, telegram, reddit, twitter have all been constantly updated with announcements on the project's direction. Even CZ from Binance and the Binance Dex official twitter have been posting about Equal.
