Is your website https://www.projectwlc.com/? Are the people listed above members of your team? Is this your project's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/projectwlc ?

Yes, that is our project website. It haven't been launched yet. It was meant to be launched today but due to this situation everything have been paused till the situation is verified. And yes that is our facebook page. And those people are not the project team.

We suspect the leak came from the website developer, we are not sure yet, still looking into it

What is the purpose for someone to make a free advertisement for your project?
As you can see the ANN archive, the person posted everything about your project http://archive.fo/lLerC  including your whitepaper and social media.
Is that your whitepaper as well? Can you post your whitepaper here so we can read it?

Are you going to provide a video of your team? Now that there is an accusation against your project, it will be hard for you to prove without providing a video of your new team.

Every other evidence you need will be posted when the team are done with its investigation. Definitely a video will be posted on the youtube page and link shared across other social media.

And that is not an advert, that is some one trying to use the project for there own personal gain(scam).

But you didnt answer a question:  Is that your whitepaper? As you mentioned earlier, you were about to launch your website today, and we assume that you have a whitepaper ready.

And those people are not the project team.

So, do you claim all of the team members listed there are fake, or just some of them ?

Also, is the name of the project CEO James Walter right or a fake name generated?

Who are you the project owner or just a representative?

I was mean't to be the person incharge of the bounty and airdrop, that include the Ann thread too. I was contacted by the team to do that. I also was the one that alerted the team on the on going situation.

The whitepaper can't be sent to anyone. You have to wait till the issue is verified and the project is launched. Then all the info you want will be out. Including the real pictures of the team and their names.

About the steemit post, research are been made to write an article and if some part of the article is copied, is there a crime in that??

I urge you all to calm down a let the team sort out their problems and then when we officially launch you can take up your issue with the CEO

Dodging a question is not nice.. is this your whitepaper or not?  WHITEPAPER (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PWC7qZtDtnh2LQ-_uKkKB41uWGmLQhAE/view)  -  Archived (http://web.archive.org/web/20190318203149/https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PWC7qZtDtnh2LQ-_uKkKB41uWGmLQhAE/view)


And about your plagiarized article - Yes it is a crime to plagiarize someone else's work.

Your point is noted. Will do well to tell the team. But i don't see anything wrong with taking a line or two lines from someone article. People do it all the time.

That whitepaper is not ours. Some of the content is same with ours. Content like token economy, the mobile app , summary and few other lines.. even the headings of the whitepaper are ours but the whitepaper took a lot of changes.

The project is african based an everything in our whitepaper is pointing at africa including the laws. But the laws against wildlife in that whitepaper is based on USA.

Please am not dodging from any question. Am trying my best to reply you. You are just not understanding that this is difficult for the team. The sponsors of these project are really pissed at what happened and the last time i chatted with the CEO, he was not sounding alright. I am also under investigation for the situation.

Please you all should stop doing this, and wait for the real project to launch... thank you

1 - It is wrong and unprofessional stealing people's work. You should read/learn about plagiarism.
2 - hmmm.. strange story about your whitepaper. Maybe you can tell us another story and maybe we will believe.
3 - We are not stop anything, we are researching, and it would be better if the CEO was the one responding to this accusation, instead of you that are asking for us to stop asking questions.
If your CEO wanted transparency, he would immediately make a video and post on this forum with the entire team, instead of hiding until "investigation" is completed.

Your project is under an accusation of a scam. You are denying that you have anything to do with this. Do you think we believe what you said so far in defense of your project? It is very hard to believe, because it appears that you trying to buy time, maybe to make a new whitepaper and find a team to replace the one that was caught. We deal with this type of situation very often.

What was the purpose of someone stealing your content and open an ANN thread on this forum? Who would be benefiting from that? just your project of course.

If you have a whitepaper you should post here. At least we know it will be coming directly from your project and not from someone else. If you refuse to post, it could be is a sign that you are fabricating, removing plagiarism, etc..

You should act fast because once this scam accusation spread thru the internet, it is unstoppable.

Ok, this is my last message to you. I don't expect you to believe. The CEO will make the video after he is done answering to the sponsors and setting things right.

How will you say my project is benefitting from it. How are we benefitting from it? What if we weren't informed about this and we went ahead in launching the project and the website then the project will now be two out there. And what if the plan was to hack the project during token sales and maybe change the wallet address or anything. What if it was a hater that did that to tarnish the image of the project.

I have tried to make you understand but you don't want to listen. Am done trying, the project will launch when its time for it to lauch. The team will make a video when the are ready and when the website launch you can go check the whitepaper. Nothing about the project will be sent to you or uploaded here till we launch.

And what are you here for? I believe it is to dectect scam ico. When the real project launches, do well to research about it and ask all the pending questions you have..

Thank you..

As we all see, they don't want to provide any evidence that their project is real and that they have nothing to do with this accusation.
We asked them to post a Whitepaper here, so we know they are not in the process of fabricating a new one. (first one is plagiarized)
They were caught before launching with a fake team and plagiarized whitepaper.
This project shouldn't be trusted and no excuse coming from them should be accepted.
It appears that they are just buying time to re-do what was caught (fake team and plagiarized whitepaper).
