Is it really any revelation that many (if not most) cryptocurrencies in the top 100 market cap are useless and scammy? Also, why make us wait instead of releasing the leak immediately? Why disseminate the leak via twitter? Something fishy is going on here or this supposed leaker is somewhat incompetent. In any case, I look forwards to the outcome.

You meant: most (if not all).

It's not but if this is legit (I strongly suspect it is not) it would be valuable to see what was said behind the scenes so some of the people who feigned innocence or good intentions can be outed. Especially if it was one of the blatant rugpulls that didn't have any real consequence for the perpetrators (like the "Save The Kids" token, which Coffeezilla did a good series on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_RKFQl3pg&list=PL4qw3AkxFDSPxGXWy8NLlGi9bfdiJesq1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_RKFQl3pg&list=PL4qw3AkxFD...). It seems like it’s a particularly bad problem with YouTubers who target teens - Jake Paul, Logan Paul, Ricegum, FaZe gaming, Adin Ross etc. Awful bunch of people.

Might be taking a page out of the WikiLeaks playbook. They liked to mete out their leaks in stages to keep the attention on them.

~80% of the telegram scamming is "technically ethical", meaning they shill to their users they truly believe in the project they promote and it will definitely make them rich if they stick with it. Then if they rug pull or if it crashes: you have no way of knowing if they rug pulled or if it crashed independently and I suspect a lot of the time it's something in-between.

There could be blackmail behind the scenes. A smart contract or whatever that will publish the key unless X amount of Y is transferred to wallet Z. So if nothing comes out of it could be that some croins changed hands.
