Hi everyone. I have found proof that the EOS company is sending ethers to the crowdsale. here is the wallet address where they sent 1000 eth to ICO #55 today just about 5 minutes before the period ended. The wallet address is: 0x7725e0bC98E61c47dcEb1906Be968492E8cD9080 . The funds in this address came from bitfinex_wallet2, where huge amounts of ethers were sent to and from. The other address linked to this activity is: 0xb876c09A96186f0336eAb3819568F500E4266eC6 . I guess one can argue that it is legitimate to do that as they should be concerned about the price stability of EOS. However, this runs contrary to "decentralization" in the whole crypto concept. Also, when they sent in 1000 eth to their own ICO, they received the same 1000 eths, but at the end of the period, they would have claimed 1000 eth's worth of EOS which would belong to the "real" ICO participants. This is a moral issue, isn't it? They may be gaining in terms of $, but they are losing in terms of moral high ground. How can one say Eos will be an ethereum killer when ethereum has been doing things in open, moral, and decentralized ways while EOS is behaving like this? Just some food for thought for everyone. My take is that, they should leave the market alone and free; otherwise, eos will lose people's confidence. why worry about eos price if one truly believes in the real merits of eos?
