I guess i probably have to remove them afterall, I honestly thought that it would be best to show a face there, but since it might do more harm than good, i'll have to take them down
I Remain The CEO: Edward Johnson 
Have a nice day everyone
I see what you did there Have a nice day everyone
Honestly though, the reason you gave is not satisfactory at all. We do have so many scammers giving the same reason over and over again once caught. If the reason was legal, then you would have left the whole team idea out. Nobody is forcing you to display your team profiles.
Its all good, you all should prolly have a nice day.
Oh hi @emekaokoli, what a coincidence that you have very similar (actually the same) username as one older member (EMEKA OKOLI) who I caught stealing other people's work back in December 2019.What brought you to this thread by the way, as I see that you also opposed the flag raised against @ART_DECO_official.
Its all good, you all should prolly have a nice day.
We had to use STOCK IMAGES FOR Our Team because our government is very unstable and they outlawed cryptocurrency
So I see that you decided to go with the option number "c" in my previous post, which is one of the most popular, and one of the stupidest imho.We had no choice but to use STOCK images, going through our Website, and social media channels you can with your human judgement that we have put in so much quality effort.
You had choice not to use stock images, but instead just write that team decided to be anonymous. But now, you are aware that people like to see the faces of the team members before investing, so you naturally opeted for stock photos. Even the founder of the mother of all cryptocurrencies doesn't have a face, i don't see why ours will be any different
And again one of the classic answers, "If Satoshi can do it, why can't we?". Don't compare Satoshi Nakamoto and you. Satoshi never had ICO, asked people to invest in Bitcoin, or maybe used stock photos in order to attract investors. We just couldnt use our faces because of our government
And again, why use any face? Just leave it blank and say that team is anonymous.So yeah, I was kinda lazy to leave you a tag, but just because of so much BS in one post, you are getting one from me after all.
I'll Probably Use This Thread To Post Future announcements about our NFT project, when we finally get on Binance, Will mint it as NFT and probably sell to you because you will be our biggest fan.

Have a nice day everyone
yeah, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Johnson_III?
I guess you are hell bent on disproving our project, @lovesmayfamilis i have tried to private message you and you got me blocked.
We all aware that lots of other projects are still not using team page or still using avatars, why is my own different?
There are lots of shitty projects that are here and they are not flagged
Yes the project was inspired by elon musk, Sometimes you have to try unothordox things to get the ball rolling.
I guess the only option i have is to prove you all wrong when this project hits it big
I will still come here to update you all.

We just couldnt use our faces because of our government
I hope you reconsider you stance.
Thanks
An old excuse, and completely unoriginal. Replacing the stock photos twice, explain why you need them? Fake team, white paper, which consists of three words. Good reputation for your project.
Are you not lazy to create new announcements of your project and use the bumping service to raise the buzz?
Believe me, all this has already been on the forum and is no longer interesting. Everyone already sees right through you.
c)"Crypto is illegal in our country so we have to hide our idenitity"
Hello? Good day everyone.

Seems like the accused has opposed the flag, I would defenitely like to hear from the accused as to what their reasons are for using stock images as team member pictures.
You can choose between these:a)"Lazy web developer screwed us, he mixed our real photos with the fake ones, its not our fault"
b)"Those are just placeholder images, we were too busy to upload our own"
c)"Crypto is illegal in our country so we have to hide our idenitity"
They must be having a valid reason to oppose the flag as well. Lets hope that it is not making money from people by stealing their money. 
Well, they don't think that dealing with them you have high risk of loosing the money , so of course they opposed the flag 
.By the way, flag supported too!

They are running some social media campaigns, due to which the twitter page has a number of retweets and likes. Cant understand why the people who do this dont do a background check first.
Flag supported from my end.

They really don't know when to quit with this fake team knowing that they are going to get caught because it is a blatant deception and a simple image search could reveal the bullshit behind the picture. There should be a KYC for stock photos that have people that are smiling so we can easily pinpoint the people that are using them and the scammers are going to be discouraged taking the pictures because it will reveal their lowlife faces and identity.
What happened: New theme and old heroes.
