Topic: [WARNING] UKAN Plagiarized Whitepaper (Read 622 times)

This situation is now getting beyond a joke. The sheer number of scammers trying to fool people in to sending their crypto to fake websites on the basis the funds will be spent on humanitarian causes in Ukraine, is shocking.

Where there is an opportunity to pocket some cash, the scammers will proceed without caring about moral obligations in a totally shameless manner. Even in times of extreme human pain and suffering the scammers are lining up trying to pick their moments to scam.

Let's see... how many percentage of token do you actually have?

50% for Mr. Zelenski
50% locked for LP
50% burned
50% for the Ukrainian --which hopefully worth 9B dollars--

So you have 200% token? What?

And how on earth do you have the president's personal wallet address? Is this published for public somewhere?

It appears you don't understand what "giving credit to the original author" means. Taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own without giving credit is plagiarism. Citing sources is the only way to use other people's work without plagiarizing. No need to discuss it further.

The rest of your arguments are total bullshit. As I see it, the solution is simple. You claim to be in close contact with President Zelenski? If you can prove it, I will publicly apologize and withdraw this claim.

The use of others' suffering for one's own gain is disgusting. There is a special place in hell for people like you.

Hello,

let see,

-"First of all, plagiarism is plagiarism. You can't just pick up someone else's work and pass it off as your own. No matter what your reasons or intentions are, the proof is right there in black and white. If you are a professional, you shouldn't even be trying to post someone else's work without properly crediting the"

It looks like you haven't read our white paper, not only we credit them but we discredit them as well and make the project pertinent.
Please read both white papers carefully and then we can talk about the issue again.

-"But that's not even the worst of it. Taking advantage of human suffering and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine to benefit your own interests? Oh come on! That's probably the lowest of the low. When you see an event as an opportunity to profit off the misery of others, you're a cold hearted and despicable human being. And I can't stress that enough."

Well let's put it that way,
First we didn't take any advantage on the supply, 50% were burned and 50% were locked, no lucky airdrop of any kind to no one, the pre investors airdrops were made after PURCHASING tokens from the pool.
But what you seemed to miss here is the most important part, let say that Ukan Token would rise up like the SHIB did, that Ukraine would endorse it and that the entire world would buy Ukans,
Well at the end of the day Ukraine would have 50% of 18 Billion dollars - which is 9 billion dollars.
Now, I agree with you that a lot of pre investors and on-the-go purchasers will make a lot of profits but who cares? the fact that UKRAINE will have 9 billion dollars is enough to us.
It's certainly one of the best ways of giving, but its definitely the smartest way.
We are proud of our project, proud of the initiative and will prove you wrong in the aftermath.

-"When you claim this is an "aid token created to help Ukraine", then please show me your NGO. Surely, you know how to organize a fundraiser for humanitarian aid without making yourself look like a scam."

I don't think that every humanitarian project and aid in this world would need an official NGO certificate - we are humans after all and help can be provided from anyone to another. Furthermore, most of the NGO's that you seem to venerate so much have cost of operations sometimes higher than redistribution which makes the whole thing completely useless.
Finally, I will not try to convince you on the legitimacy of Ukan, Let be patient and time will prove with a lot of effort and a bit of luck what Ukan can do for Ukraine.

Mikoshi.

First of all, plagiarism is plagiarism. You can't just pick up someone else's work and pass it off as your own. No matter what your reasons or intentions are, the proof is right there in black and white. If you are a professional, you shouldn't even be trying to post someone else's work without properly crediting them.

But that's not even the worst of it. Taking advantage of human suffering and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine to benefit your own interests? Oh come on! That's probably the lowest of the low. When you see an event as an opportunity to profit off the misery of others, you're a cold hearted and despicable human being. And I can't stress that enough.

When you claim this is an "aid token created to help Ukraine", then please show me your NGO. Surely, you know how to organize a fundraiser for humanitarian aid without making yourself look like a scam.

Hello,

I think there is a big miss-understanding here.
First, The token is taking the Shiba concept as a study case and replicate satirically the white paper with pertinent differences and pointing the idiotic aspect of it.
Second, The token has been developed in the rush to help for a great cause.
Third, plagiarism has never been a proof to scamming anyone, Facebook plagiarized my-space, WhatsApp plagiarized ICQ and the list is so long. Like Zuckerberg like to say "I don't copy no one, I'm getting inspired" so this Token.

Now regarding the token,

. This is an aid token created with the purpose of helping Ukraine to recover after the war. 50% have been locked into Uniswap and 50% awaiting to be burned to Mr. Zelenskyy. The concept is to help Ukraine in a smart move where investors will be able to generate profit along with helping Ukraine on a very large scale. We are in close pourparler with the close team of the president and hopefully will have a full endorsement from Ukraine in the coming days.
. Distribution occurred as 50% to Uniswap and 50% to the burn wallet. We have been dropping small amounts of coins from an initial purchase from the pool to all the early donators who gave 1$ for the development of the Token as a part of token presale (kind of - due to the philanthropical aspect of the project) .
The token is listed on Uniswap : https://info.uniswap.org/#/tokens/0x49bc8340acd3521150d7ccd8a4a3510d2f5130ca
.The smart contract was created by vitto minacori - (an auditor himself) under erc20, full audit in progress.

We know that this is very fast running, we also are very aware of the potential of being perceived maybe as a scam due to the situation and some mal intentional developers around Ukraine, but we are not and the situation in Ukraine urge us to act fast.
We have an official PR agency in New York whom signed all of our PR releases : https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ukrainian-rescue-token-launching-093349020.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr

Now, We know that your work is precious, helping and advising an entire community to the potential risk of each project and so the respect, but we are not fake, and not scamming anyone. Hopefully an official endorsement from Ukraine will clarify the situation and in the mid-time we don't ask anyone to buy Ukans, just setting the ground for the success of our Token.

The team has decided to remain anonymous for safety reasons, especially Russian retaliation to such a large scale project.

Please let's try to temper and be moderated for the moment.

Thanks,
Ukan Team.

It is common knowledge here that all projects that plagiarize whitepapers are fake and likely to scam people.

So what is your effort to urge the project team to make a clarification in this thread? I see you haven't closed your bounty thread. The project team will not bother coming to this thread because you are still supporting and continuing their promotion.

After all, a project in the name of humanity for Ukraine? You should have placed your suspicions on it the first time you heard. You should see this too>> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ukrainian-scam-donation-posts-and-users-5387561

I've sent a PM to @MrCrank since this discovery and there hasn't even been a response, not only that I've also found a plagiarism project promoted by @MrCrank again. My PM hasn't been replied to until now even though he's been active every day.
He seemed to ignore what I was up to, too sad for an unprofessional manager.

That's what worries me when the war is still going on but there are projects taking advantage of this situation but in reality they just want to take money not to help.

I hope @MrCrank takes note of this discovery and makes proper amends. Getting associated with a possible scam project raises eyebrows but managers are also human and mistakes can happen.

Also worth noting is how they managed to look for a whitepaper that replicated the Ukraine support sentiment. Either way, I condemn the use of the fact that a certain country is at war and some scammer is attempting to collect funds in the fake lines of supporting that country.

It shows how blindly the bounty hunters join projects without doing an inch of research. As far as I know, many used bots to apply in bounty threads at one time.

On the other hand this project runs a bounty in exchange for 10k USDT already in escrow?
I was a bit unsure and reported this to the bounty manager.
