I think "takes one to know one" might also apply. I don't think "hidden massive pre-mine" is such a stretch, but I'm not a... Crypto-economist? Forensic crypto-accountant? The mining difficulties were much lower in the beginning, right? So mine a load in the beginning, sell the scam, cash out? I'm not saying it's a scam, but is it unreasonable to suggest it might have started as one?
