Since you posted this their telegram has been pretty silent. Just people wishing each other Good Morning. Its very rare that a project with a plagiarized white paper goes on to be legitimate. However, I know that Tron and Justin Sun got in trouble for that -- they quickly revised their white paper, and have been pretty darn successful ever since.

After revealing this projects plagiarized Whitepaper investors can easily take their decission. Bitcointalk can't be a destination of scammers or spammers.
