You can't make up those 500+ connections at a very short period of time.
No offense but that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard. You can get 500 connections in a matter of days, not to mention you can buy fake LinkedIn profiles that are already maxed out.
Same with other team members, for me, their linkedin profiles are legit not a made up one.
I strongly disagree, there are details pointing otherwise.
For example,
Mike Kim's profile, kid on the photos does not look like he is more than 20 years old. According to LinkedIn Mike Kim got his bachelor's degree in 2009, meaning he was 23-25 years old at that time, fast forward to 2020 he would be around 35. One year after graduation Mike got a job at Dell, lol highly improbable. Four years later he was lead developer at Barclays, lol not a chance.
Miranda Weaver's resume for her alleged job at Luminor group in the period of 2016-2018 is plagiarized from another LinkedIn profile.
"My philosophy is built on the notion that; we do better if we work together and if we work together, we are stronger. My purpose in life is to contribute to the solution that helps to produce and sustain equitable outcomes for all. I believe in community, stakeholder and partnership engagement; through strategic planning and effective communication, to leverage resources that reduce barriers to access and success."source:

Miranda Weaver's profile was recently changed, "Girls on the Run Twin Cities also comes from Jeanette Hughes's profile
Twitter profile is very long time ago created, but no activity there.
That's a very good point.
Azbi's domain is registered in January this year (2020-01-28)-
linkAccording to Azbi's website, the idea originated in August 2019 but their twitter account is from 2014. lol
I won't tell how many low-level scams i've seen that buys aged accounts and name their projects after it.
