Seems they have edited picture from Google and whitepaper plagiarised as well. I have tagged them to reply on this thread with appropriate evidence. I will not wait until they skip with fund. I don't know they will scam or not but editing photo and plagiarised whitpaper really isn't a good practice. Let's wait for another excuse that team isn't aware about that, developer did mistake. Thanks for information. . Lol

Hello there ICOEthics I like to point out your correction in your OP, Its not Nicholas Martin they faked but the one named Thomas Bruno. It really confused me at first because the one they are referring to Nicholas Martin doesn't resemble the model you have identified. Good thing I looked at the rest of the members' profile and find out you were referring to Thomas Bruno.

Hello, Thank you for letting me know the mistake. It is fixed now.

I have no doubt that what I am seeing is the same person but I have to admit that they somehow look different from each other, even the first person you have detected. What it looks like to me is they are adding moles to their faces and adjusting the curves of their faces which all can be done via photoshop, it only means that scammers are trying their best not to get caught with their fake project. Nevertheless you still caught them having plagiarized content on their whitepaper.
