Please make a flag against the representative account who just posted above. These people cannot be allowed to roam free without a lease and thus a flag is necessary for marking them as a scammer/fraudstar.

The fact that they copy pasted a whitepaper can only mean one thing - it is a scam and they are not to be trusted. Newbies will get fooled but at least some will get the warning from the flag.

looking forward now we have change ou WP and mention that link as copy right.

Stop making that excuse. Every project getting caught like this is saying this lame line. Total lack of professionalism this would be.

remember this is crypto space it mean open soure project.

More bullshit coming from a scammer.

Open source does not mean a copy pasted whitepaper. It means you do everything on your own and keep it open for other to "source" it from. Blatant copy pasting a document is not same as open sourcing someone else.

hi guys thank for the reviewing our project, now post in bitcointalk allready deleted. looking forward now we have change ou WP and mention that link as copy right. remember this is crypto space it mean open soure project.

Hello, the case would be like that if you did copied the content of your whitepaper. It sounded like your blaming the OP for reporting. If you want to launch a project make sure you are following the standard rule. This is unacceptable everybody knows that plagiarism is not accepted in any kind of excuse.

Open source project is quite okay but were talking about content grabbing here. No one will agree with you on this reasoning. Sorry even you created a new one it will be invalidated already.

READ: Even if you have a disclaimer at the bottom of the whitepaper stating the contents were made by an anonymous team and is for educational purpose, the fact that you plagiarized the contents of your WP and even included those contents on your ANN does escape any liability. In addition, why would you hire an anonymous team to create your WP if you were the one who created the project?

This is what these scammers are saying after they are exposed this is not the only time that these developers are giving this kind of alibi, they think they can get away with it, hiring a professional is not good you should be the one in charge in checking the works obviously you do not have a platform and your road map is fake because you copied it from other project.

Whatever the change, if the project plagiarism, still won't believe me if you want to really build a project with the aim of being successful why do this?
Many yearn projects have become one of the scamer projects that continue to emerge with many fakes.

Impressive investigation work done by OP. They have collected their whitepaper content from multiple sources and added part by part to complete their whitepaper. I am not seeing any reason to trust them when they have no ability to create their own whitepaper. Although its nothing new and fake projects owners often try to save their budget by stealing contents from other projects.

I will suggest our community users to avoid this project and if i am not wrong then they are going to make the existing scam project list little longer.

OP you can make a reply on their official thread and provide your thread link there.

wow, you are too fast to catch them. It's around 1 hour later you creating this thread after they launched the ann thread in this forum. So it's a good activity.
Btw I have seen some content is a definition of something.(for example, what is defi, what is cryptocurrency staking etc) So, It could be always the same but the copier has to add a source link. And yes rest of the contents are plagiarized. Let's see other's opinions

I usually balance my time between my law school studies and bitcoin browsing and it just happened that I stumbled upon their ANN the moment they posted it! Although the definition of DeFi could be regarded as a general definition, without the proper citation of resources, I would consider it as plagiarism. I could be wrong but hey, let's hear the opinion of others!
