How to make an archive?
Go to https://archive.fo/ then follow as mentioned on the below image:

Not sure how that archive system work (maybe limited number of archive per day?). Sometimes it just doesnt work with one person but will work with someone else.
Often we get a blank page.

BTW Good Job OP for finding this scam.

you're right. He does not work for me today.

Also saw this project today and checked the team after I saw all LinkedIn profiles were dead!

Thanks. This is a good find. I think I need to ask why the fake team?

PS  :o :o oops. they deleted the topic.

It seems they have removed exposed team members from their site, but record can be found at icoholder https://icoholder.com/en/wide-energy-27256#team and some names here https://icomarks.com/ico/wide-energy. Removing announcement thread after scam accusation is shady enough. I'll archive edited thread just in case they change thread again and update it with new team members and after that they come here to complain that they never had these people on their site http://archive.is/evQoh like some fraudsters did.
