Answer 2

BEAM had a private pre-sale, selling tokens to investors. They do not publish any of this information, but in their telegram and elsewhere there were estimates of 25 cents per token for a total of ~5 million dollars.

They say on their site they did not do an ICO, when in fact they did do a private ICO, which are by definition less tranparent and fair than public ICOs. It is up to the reader to interpret the motive behind their semantics.
