Today the MoneroV Team announced that the Fork won't happen until April 30th.

Over the last couple weeks you could see a lively discussion on the Monero Reddit. Since I am a Monero Fan I followed most of it.

The fork was highly controversial and the community and devs alike warned potential investors of MOneroV:

It could compromise your privacy and even the security of your coins itself.

That means no one cold predict if your identity would have stayed a secret or if you would even would still be the owner of your own coins after claiming MoneroV.

The fork came closer and like usual right before a fork the price began to rise.

Now that the price is back to normal again, the MoneroV Team announces the fork is postponed. I find this very suspicious and it makes me wonder if they even planed to fork in the first place.

This could be the new scam scheme:

Announcing a fork, selling all your coins at a high price that would be never achieved without the fork and then just canceling (or postponing) it and buying cheap again. Postponing even provides the advantage of doing the same thing again.
