Today (October 16) Know Your Developer team announce on their discord channel and twitter that they are going to change verification procedure.
From November 1 on KYD platform there will be no more private listing option. One of the main reasons for this decision was the latest scams.
(2/3) People that have been harmed by this can file a complaint with their local authorities and we will provide them with the identity of the SC2 developer. In light of events, we are going to change our procedure. We will stop with private listings after 1st of November

All current private listings will be removed from website. Coin developers that are listed there can go public or disappear from the platform after December 1.
This is definitely good move. We will see how many coin devs are really seroius about their projects. If they decide to not go public they can lose a lot of trust.
