dev @ShaY made an announcement on discord just minutes before deleting the server:
It went something like: We haven't succeeded in selling anything in pre-sale(though @DATADEV have earlier claimed to sell a mn for 0.3BTC) we really tried and we are sorry. something like that.
I guess that not many poeple got a chance to read it though.
The tough conclusion: this was obviously a scam, from top to bottom.
EDIT: regarding a possible community takeover, you would need to secure the 400mil pre-mine.
Its a shame, this coin was nice to mine...
