NxT did not need a developer fund because BCnext prematurely closed the IPO, as soon as people started to get interested, and then he later cashed out his entire stake for around $500K (he needed the money, 'scam succeeded' and ran off and abandoned his own project. These are facts. Not providing links, as this happened back in 2013 and it's common knowledge, unless you refuse to believe it, to 'old NxTers' such as myself. If you want a link then read the old NxT thread, the original one, all your answers are there. Google is your friend).
In contrast - the NEM developers are hardly being compensated - right now (assuming the price holds) all they would get is a measly $40K, at current prices. At least one developer had to put his PhD on hold to contribute to NEM. This is in contrast to the rest of us, who didn't spend hours programming, who got $1.5K just for putting $5 to $15 months ago
BCnext got off relatively easy - all he did was program a $hit browser interface, got it barely working just enough, and then dumped all the real workload on his successors while he ran off with half a cool million. BCnext likely came back to Bitcointalk but created another project - who knows if it was Qora, NEM, if he's on the Ethereum team, who honestly knows ( don't care really)
