Here is what the cryypto rep said -
No, it's not hard to check. But we had a bigger fish to fry aka launch the trading engine. It hasn't developed itself. I dont know what the meaning of oversight where he is from, but it was an honest mistake. We trusted the wrong guy. We know our strenght and we know our weaknesses. And writing white paper was always to be given to someone who is a professional in the field. Clearly that did not happen in this case. We've outsourced bounty program too, because we want to focus on our product and grow it and not learn new skills.
They might have missed a step, but I'm not sure it's fair for them to lose all their reputation from this. You're calling them out for being a scam because they outsourced the writing of their document, and a portion of it was copied. Not sure how to proceed here.
As a bounty manager, I can understand why you are protect the project and want to clarify the situation, but! We have seen hundreds of examples, when the team began to defend itself after the accusations, can we just believe to their words? If I launch a scam tomorrow and answer all the accusations - the site was made at an outsourcing, wp too, the fake team is a stock photo from a template for the site and now I’ll fix everything, we’re not scam, but I will not give you any proof. How do you see it? I still don't blame the project or you, but I am sure that the arguments in defense should be more powerful, screenshots, links, something that will prove that they wasn't aware of deception on the part of creator of the whitepaper. For now we only have their word against the facts from OP. This is of course extremely convenient - you were accused of scam - you will fix everything and there will be no evidence left. It is really extremely difficult to restore the reputation after such accusations, I don't even know what they can do for this. Perhaps ICOEthics are more informed about how to do this. By experience, the forum community practically doesn't give a second chance. In any case, if they are so keen on development, they should have hired an experienced person, it is really difficult to invest money in a project that makes such mistakes, this is not professional, in the current market it is almost impossible to succeed in raising funds, especially after such accusations.
Decoded, I was in your situation in past, best way for me was to close threads and stop partnership with project, good luck to you with this situation. I think the continuation of support for this project may lead to the loss of your reputation, there must be a quick and weighty response to the charges or you should stop working with them.
