I'm thinking English is not your first language. I will try to simplify as best as I can.
1) Go to the original link I placed in the post (this should take care of your plagiarism concern)
2) Ask the original poster your questions
Actually, honey, my English is extremely bad, next to a failure, I failed my english class 50 times. So let me try to over-complicate my main concern of your initial post that's became the source of my your-so-called concern of plagiarism, just in case you like a long and annoying sentence.
You see, it's a good habit to check several sources before raising and sharing some news, especially the ones like this topic that has a potent of stirring lots of things. One of the purpose is, in my humble opinion, so that if the news they read is not true, they can think better before posting and throw themselves into the "lion's den" (I hope you can understand well when I use metaphors, but if you don't, I mean "the center of the problem"). And in case that the validity of the info is still debatable, like this one, he can clarify his position as a mere spectator by saying "I was simply quoting".
If you see your post from other perspective, I really hope you can see that the link you provide, especially when there is no additional information like "source:", can be easily read as a mere reference (which most people will read later after they finished reading the entire post instead of right the second they stumbled upon it), thus having a possibility of creating an image that he is the one who create the entire content below the link. As a result, people can easily misinterpret your position or they can see you as someone who tried to claim someone's content, which is a plagiarism.
Talking about position..... to end this mundane topic and move to a more serious one, let's just say that you're right and I am wrong by saying about plagiarism. It has no relation with the topic, you've put your source (although in a way that can be better). But talking about position, I suddenly wanted to know your position on this case. As I said, I tried to check your username on their spreadsheet and found none. So what brings you here with such info? If you're an investor that's about to put your money on their project, it'll made more sense if you try to bring this topic to their ann thread, where people would discuss about the legitimacy of this project in a more serious manner, and your topic won't be topped by someone random asking their bounty or clarifying their payment, that's what I'll do. Or, maybe on this thread just like what you did, but with an opening line that's sound like asking for clarification like "can anyone confirm this?" or "is this article true?" instead of a "not looking good, guys", again, that's what I'll do. But I think someone with a better English than mine surely is smarter and can think far bettet than me.
I am so sorry to take your precious time, but to me, you looks really like someone who tried to stir something, given that you have no ties to this project that deserve such words, and especially if your claim is true, that you just an investor that happen to be caught in the drama and somehow looked for info in a less than better thread, you should be as confused as me because previous page is literally divided into people who informed that they got the payment and those who say they didn't.
Also, if you don't mind helping me, as I'm afraid I'll mistranslate any news and info (my English is bad, remember?), and since you're the one that bring the quoted article here, can you help me lookong for the answers of my questions number one and three? I'm really curious.
I wouldn't waste too much time on him. I'm pretty sure he is from ethlend. Why would anyone start crying about plagiarism when there is a link next to the article while at the same time ignoring the last 5 pages of complaints. This is starting to look slimy as a used car lot.
No shit, Sherlock. It's an obvious truth that I'm from ethlend, that's why my account was created looonnggg before they even start their project and I kept mentioning their name and how good they are on every post since my join date until today.
