POSSIBLE SCAM! - What the Fork? New SegWit2x Launches With Massive Premine

I read the following article from cointelegraph that the latest SegWit2x Fork has lot of unanswered questions.
I'm not too encouraged about the news I'm hearing.

See the article at:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-the-fork-new-segwit2x-launches-with-massive-premine-unknown-development-team

They go on to say that the team is unknown:

"First and foremost, the team behind the new fork has nothing to do with the people behind the original New York Agreement and the SegWit2x that was cancelled in November. They have even admitted it themselves in a chat with the Finance Magnates news site."

Also they state that the new team intends to keep 28% of the 21 million coins to be pre-mined for themselves:

"Adding to the list of concerns, the code stored in that GitHub account indicates that the team members were planning to assign themselves 6 mln premined coins, a whopping 28% of the total supply of 21 mln:"

I'm going to distance myself from this crazy fork until we find out more of what's going on.
