While there will be a ton of FUD around $KIN, if you read the article you'll find that in order to focus on KIN, these are the steps they had to take.
They are focusing on KIN 100% from here on.

So this is starting to get really interesting. @coindesk published an article in which it claims that Kik CEO Ted Livingston sent drunken misdirected messages to a reporter saying that he is quitting from Kik and that he is "not going to jail for this.”https://t.co/g69Ut3TrrV

We are all in on Kin. Going forward we will be singularly focused on one thing: converting millions of Kin users into millions of Kin buyers. More here: https://t.co/qx4CWRTGay

I just landed in Washington. I took off from Tel Aviv 12 hours ago. This is obviously fabricated. I’m not sure how Coindesk could make such an obvious mistake, but we’ll find out https://t.co/SjL9wMVGkp
