OP, I gave you merits because you put some good effort into exposing this instance of whitepaper plagiarism....but I'm really curious as to what other accounts you might have had in the past (or still control). That's an off-topic question that I don't mean to get into in this thread, but it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread and saw when you registered.
All that aside, it's starting to feel like 2018 in the Scam Accusations section except the scammers aren't ripping people off with idiotic ICO projects that are either completely fake or were inherently destined to be worthless; DeFi is now the hot new thing, but the scamming tactics so far look to be almost exactly the same.
Good catch on this one, OP. I'm sure there's going to be many more for as long as DeFi is being hyped up.

What happened: Crimson Capitals is yet another fake project that follows the DeFi hype. They took content from Pecunio project for their whitepaper as they are incompetent to write their own.
