Misunderstood, not over-reacting. Realistically, for most people, their original interest and final investment decision will probably be pretty close. Circumstances change, but usually not dramatically within a few months. I'm fairly certain that some people expressed a low interest just to get on the list, so as to be able to make a final decision when the offering went live. I expect that others thought they were helping Elio by expressing a large interest, even though they knew that they would not be able to invest that much. And there were probably others that just wanted to game the system.
I agree with you, posting a non-binding expression of interest with no intention of investing seems malicious.
If it is any comfort to you, my expressed non-binding interest and my actual purchase amount are the same.
I agree that you should never feel obligated to purchase or invest if you don't feel comfortable or don't have the financial means. I can understand if Elio changed it's view dramatically. That would make for a valid reason to change interest. I'm just hoping that that people are serious about what they say they want to commit instead of gaming the system as you say.
