It was clearly an attempt to scam but they probably knew that they won't be able to get away with it. I'm not convinced of anything the guy said on the YouTube.
Remember the credibility of the savedroid developer has already destroyed. I doubt it right now, Just because they come back and it doesn't if the possibility for them all to get out with a lot of funds will have disappeared.
Many people are feeling scared because they don't even get their token from the crowdsale and it's such a big shame. I guess this will give a lot of impact on the future development. Maybe with latest centra's case, they are learning to go out until the situation will be safe.
