I agree that they might be accumulating - but surely they accumulated before the 1000% pump?
I also expect another pump. However if they are going to announce burning, I think they will do it after the launch snapshot once everyone has already dumped their Luna/UST.
Personally, given the little vision on the continuation of the current Luna, I rather find it difficult to understand that it is not lower. Especially given the sling offered between Luna/Luna V2. But I can’t guess

It would be a nice trick - for the airdrop, offer double the new Luna if you hold UST compared to the old Luna so that everyone sells their Luna. In the background, accumulate cheap old Luna in preparation for a burn announcement → far more profits to be made on the pump than the airdrop would provide in years.
I’m saying they would burn e.g. via the transaction tax that has been proposed and announce it as a surprise at the moment that suits them best after accumulating loads of cheap (old) Luna. There is simply way more profit to be gained by doing this - especially for insiders. They can still set up the new chain etc. as planned, that’s a separate thing. I find this scenario totally realistic and would be surprised if they don’t do something like this.
Speculation, not financial advice, do your own research:
Basically a single tweet from you-know-who to this effect and I think Luna (old) would 10x and then keep going even higher, maybe for quite a long time. This would also provide exit liquidity at break even for some of the investors who got rekt but managed to deploy some leftover capital, and it would take some of the pressure off the ones in charge from those investors.
Meanwhile, for long term growth over many years, the new chain is set up for the next generation of investors and the process repeats.
