I'm still puzzled by this
Zip could have made more money opening up another fee share buy than he did by running
He probably would have made more off next coin over the coming weeks.
He'll he could have made more selling the 20 million sharecoin he had control of.
Oh well guess we will find out in the coming week.
I have my theories, but it's all a little tinfoil hatish
From the beginning I do not think he planned to scam us.
1) A theory I've read on the Qora thread is that when he started to gain power and see the size of the exchange wallet, he lost control of himself and take a wrong choice for his life. Sure, we can all speculate how much more money he would have made with a successful business. But imagine someone who grew up in a poor family, someone who is poor himself, maybe he has some personal problems (i.e. drugs). 100 BTC might be enough to make him lose his mind.
2) In that same Qora thread, someone noticed that not only he transfered an huge amount of QORA to Poloniex, but he also transfered 2 amounts of coins from Poloniex to ShareXcoin. An hacked would sent QORA to Poloniex to dump them. Fine. But why he first would send coin to ShareXcoin?? So the theory here is that Zip tried to make money with OUR coins (forgive my poor English but I think it's called leverage trading). However, the plan failed. He actually lost an huge amount of money. Money that he knew he could never refund. So he might took the easy but immoral decision to steal everything rather than admit his crime.
Also, when I think about it, maybe Zip wasn't working as hard as he was pretending.
Casino (gambling website)? Delayed because he was working on another project. Is it true? There are so many casino scripts available, we can guess that it should not take lot of time to open it. So to explain why there is no casino yet, he found another "project".
Coin launch platform? Did we see some real work done? Was he really working on that?
He said he was not alone, but a team. How many people? Why the team members never posted here? Why we don't know them? He Zip cannot give news (for whatever reason) why his team do not give sign of life? So I begin to think that Zip was alone.
Lately he talked about introducing fiat. Is it true or was it a way to make us trust the exchange and make us keep more money in the exchange? In the way he was talking about this, it was an easy thing to do. It is not. There are lot of international laws to respect when you deal with real money. You need to buy expensive license. Look at Cryptsy and how long before they was able to offer fiat trading.
You know, I compare this to the moment when someone close to you commit suicide. At first you are shocked, you never saw this coming. However, when you thing about it, you realise that your friend left several signs. You simply do not see them or denied them.
