Before becoming an ICO this project was running out of money, and then they decided that thought an ICO they could receive the funding they needed. After de crowd sale, there was a delay in getting the tokens to the investors. This delay had to do with some internal issues between Breitman and Gevers (the president of Tezos foundation at the moment). Tezos became an infamous ICO at that moment.
Here is an article by Reuters that exposes de Backroom battle about the $230 million ICO.
Regarding the betanet they have adviced their investors to take precautions because they will not be responsible for any loss of tokens since it is still a beta test network and not their mainnet. On the other hand, some important excnages have made this token available which is positive for Tezos.
This project seems very promising, however it has hit a few obstacles on the way. If you are invested on this project you should follow it closely. On the contrary, you could wait til' their mainnet launch approaches to invest. Remember this is not financial advice. You should always do your own anaylisis and make your decisiones based on your own research.
