There is a scam accusation against this project. They have plagiarized large portions of their white paper, which means it is likely to be a scam project. It is recommended that everyone stay away from this.

So copying some white paper is a signal of a "scam" Huh

What about many coins that are launched every day ?
Have a look at FT1, now thats a clear scam and no warning banner.

Copying words for words, or copying ideas from crypto-based whitepaper? Well, I assume it depends on the creators of the whitepaper, (if they want their ideas to be copied or not). Besides, crypto communities are expected to share/borrow ideas.
So, it's better to see what others can do with your work when they copy and modify it. And it's not moral or ethical to prevent others who want to copy from you what you copied from others in real decentralized crypto communities.

It's clearly wrong to copy a whitepaper word for word. Probably better to read a crypto-project whitepaper, and create an original concept (with reasonable modifications), whether it's a bit similar in tech or not.

This is to inform member of this esteemed forum that we did not know about the plagiarized white paper but it was due to the freelancer that handle the job, please accept our sincere apology.

You know what's funny is this excuse is used by projects that got busted having a plagiarized white paper 99% of the time. Even if this is really the case, I always wonder:

- why didn't the project managers / developers / CEO / president / whoever think to check the white paper for plagiarism before uploading it to their website?

- why would anybody want to purchase coins / tokens from a project that don't even write their own white paper, or seemingly don't care about its contents?

Its a sign of laziness and not being committed to their own project, which can either mean it is a scam project or at best a bad investment.

What more can we expect from a company whose whitepaper is written and edited by a freelancer without any verification from the team.
I bet the idea about the project itself was created by some freelancer and the person just owns the website and the wallet to fill the coins in.

is this the right place to apologise for the plagiarized white paper. you need to move to the right avenue and channel your apologies. i doubt if this apology is accepted and if it is, what is the next move by you guys. you need to start everything afresh and put it down to avoid infringement from the real owners.

all forms of plagiarism, certainly not received including this white paper. instead, plagiarism white papers from other projects will increasingly indicate that it is a project scam and it is better not to participate and report any form of plagiarism.

It seems that you or ABF COMBA team hired a freelance to make whitepaper for your project and submitted whitepaper to the team. Hence team can't avoid liability. They needed to check after the whitepaper submission and here team's faults too. Before making ANN thread, team should be more serious about their project.

Even though you commissioned someone to do it for you. I dont think you can easily be forgiven for doing plagiarized. Of course its your responsibility to cross checked all the information and even before publishing the whitepaper since its a technical data which most investor take into consideration.

I wonder how many hours did this scammer wasted by copying and pasting from another whitepaper, creating that website, as well as creating accounts for various social media just to be reported on the very first comment on his thread. Lol
