I didn't know this project was a scam.I'm sorry.
I'll get rid of the White Paper and the Bounty right now.
Topic: SterlingSovereign - Plagiarized Whitepaper (Read 305 times)
Luckily for me, they chose me for translation work. After reviewing the project, I rejected their offer.
And now I discovered they are a scam ICO.
Thanks ICOEthics.
I have also tried using your method to detect suspicious signs. I do not believe in the image of CEO and some other people, but I am not professional enough to find enough evidence, so I used the feeling to judge this is a scam project. I was right.

And why do they need two Bounty threads?
I think it shouldn't be a problem if bounty threads have different type of campaigns. Like in this case one is a bounty thread and other one is an airdrop thread so that shouldn't be a problem but the other two airdrops should be removed as IMO they could have been carried those campaigns by editing and adding that to the earlier one.
Just report them to moderator. Mprep will definitely find a solution for it.
Oh thats scam !! Good job man
It's okay I was just joking. 
There's plenty for everyone, haven't noticed any shortage of scam ICOs being posted here.
There's plenty for everyone, haven't noticed any shortage of scam ICOs being posted here.I know, I was joking too. But it appears that are fewer scams posted on this forum. Looks like scammers are just listing their tokens on EtherDelta + using other social media, and avoiding posting on this forum. Maybe because they now know there are a lot of scam hunters searching for them on this forum. Or maybe it is just because it is winter and they are hibernating.
lol.. sorry, I know we have done this a few times in the past (posting ahead of you)

Damn you, this was supposed to be my come back thread. 
I found those idiots last week, this guy was reported for shitposting by iasenko and while searching his posts found one that was copied from Investopedia which later lead me to SterlingSovereign.
I'm pretty sure their team is fake, got only 96% match on the girl but c'mon, does these two look like John Sherlock and Tony Hunter? lol
