I'm more curious why it would even matter if it were true. As a thought experiment, let's assume for a moment that everything you say were to actually happen. Also, let's assume that all of the remaining 5,000 spots minus all of the people that have publicly posted they were accepted into the airdrop were filled by nothing but successful scammers, devs, and little magical fairies. In that scenario, everyone that managed to get in still receives 168 coins for
FREE. Anything less than 5,000 spots means the participants get even more than that. Nobody was asked for or paid any money. This really seems like complaining about receiving free money to me.

It would mean that the dishonest people (those who have gamed the system) will be unfairly benefited, receiving
3x, 4x, 5x, n times the amount the "honest users" will receive.... that would be a bad start for a cryptocurrency: rewarding dishonest people to the detriment of the honest ones :/
