That's fine, guess I missed that you asked here first.
As far as answers to your question - the people you thought you originally asked tend to rely on anyone that is not themselves to come up with their own answer to their own questions, rather than answer them directly, more often than not.
It's served them reasonably well.
Did it really? Quotes like the one below beg to differ.

Ask yourself this: Can you find any evidence at all that the coin existed prior to last year? I mean, if it was launched in July of 2012 then there would surely have been mention of it somewhere on the web, right? So find an archive.org link from that period mentioning cryptonote and you will have proof.
Can't do it?
Throwing it to the floor.
Can you on the other hand provide any evidence that the chain was faked?
Checkmate!
Oh wait.. did you even read the thread at all? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blowing-the-lid-off-the-cryptonotebytecoin-scam-with-the-exception-of-monero-740112
The fact that you cannot find any reference prior to last year is pretty alarming evidence if you ask me. I won't even go into the false-dated white papers. If you're not a troll, you shouldn't be on these forums, because you will surely lose your money.
