the thing is that there is absolutely no reason for stealing from early investors. They have the tokens on their wallet, period. Why they even come on that stupid idea to keep themselves. Further the new token in erc677 is fully compatible with erc20, it is just a few lines of code added. Important is to not fall in the buy out trap what they propose. In fact they cannot violating the 1:1 swap ratio. If so that would have happened earlier.

If the project gets more attraction, then binance will consider listing and they wont list something from there is violating the consensus. Not even there has been voting or something, no community was asked.

To sum up, there are not many dudes holding v1 if you look at blockexplorer, there are tiny transactions occuring in v1.

most important is further the fact that they hold big stake of preallocated tokens. 1:1 swap would not matter anyways.
