Bad fork: the Creator of Bitcoin Private accused of premine
Source:Today, Creator of Rhett Creighton came under a wave of charges related to preminum coins. The conflict began immediately after the publication of the study Coinmetrics. Intelligence service found out that at the stage of creating the cryptocurrency produced 2.04 million BTCP that the secret was kept in the wallets of Creighton.
theAnother Scam or just a misunderstanding?
Recall, BTCP was born in the result of hard forks , the project is based on two blockchains — in fact, most Bitcoin and . According to analysts Coinmetrics, about two million coins BTCP didn't know including the developers of other cryptocurrencies. All this time the coins were stored on «protected pool».
300 000 BTCP were displaced from protected pool on the exchange.
It is Noteworthy that this is not just an ordinary PreMain. These coins are not considered in the General circulation Bitcoin Private. In other words, the total number of coins cryptocurrency «magic» way increased from 20.4 to 22.6 million BTCP.
The Answer of Rhett Creighton did not answer to wait. One of the most commented on post Coinmetrics on Twitter. According to him, he allegedly thought Bitcoin Private suffered from «hidden inflationary attacks». Some time later, Creighton deleted the tweet.
One of the main developers Jake Brutman suggested that Creighton himself initiated the withdrawal of 300,000 BTCP with protected pool.
As far As I know, this bounty created by Rhett, when he was the lead developer of the project.

In the end, Creighton has rejected all charges in the party.
I was not involved in the development of Bitcoin Private for many months. I have no information on those who could carry out the attack for money.
The word "scammer" is overused in crypto, but it's rarely more fitting than for you, Rhett Creighton . You deserve some years in prison to think about your life choices.
