I didn't invest more than 100 steem so I got my money back via paybacks and post votes. I bet more than 90% of the people did. I do think they marketed it wrong in the very beginning, but got the big bot vote to take care of many and didn't repeat those "claims".
As far as a scam, from what I can see they have paid out way more than they received (if you count the bot vote). Not too many scammers ever take the time to get people their money back.
This is just my opinion, I don't care what other's really think and its ok with me if you hate them. I just didn't think it was right that you silenced my voice in the beginning for saying what I felt. I didn't mean any disregard to you or others, just stating my opinion.
Have a nice day and I much prefer civil dialogue!
