Yes. I think, they even posted about participating in project as advisers. Think about it: if smth was fake, these advisers would have been told already, and there’d be a big noise.
By the way, there is a project, with Game of Thrones’ characters on the website, but no one has sued them yet
Bad example - everyone is using GoT

Ripple is the one, that knows everything about hype. Their logo is a spinner!
Your ripple is scam, and spinner has nothing to save it. Due to projects like that, crypto is called ‘a pyramid’
The problem is not in Ripple specifically, but in the majority of ICO’s. Everyone is promising a lot, but not much is done in the end. Scamy ICO’s collect crypto and then cannot even provide MVP

We created our platform such that those accidents do not happen. The experts will check ICO for scam / not scam, but will also help realize the project. It is true that many projects set themselves unrealistic goals and then cannot realize then, but the experts using the DAO platform will be able to help with advice.
