Yup, it seems you're right, I just checked their telegram channel and found an admin with the same nickname, will tag and flag him

How about the OP of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166341

Doesn't he deserve a red tag too?

Coz to me it seems the profile is part of the team according to the ANN.

Yes, he obviously is part of their team and all of his posts are advertising this scam.

Left a rating and created a flag (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=515).

The other day, I had noticed that a great deal of topics where being created promoting this token and I created this topic about it. It was because they were offering a 2000 bounty to whoever created a topic to promote their token I went to the telegram. It was interesting how many people that they showed joining. (I think that was all fake.) I informed an administrator that it was against the rules and they got rid of that aspect of their bounty campaign. I now see that this token appears to have other problems.

Promotion through spamming is one of the shadiest things, this behaviour is scamlike. Aggressive posting, shilling and now plagiarism in their white paper are not appropriate signs for serious project, it is not good thing to invest your money in. Very good job, mate,  you're always ready to warn good people, I appreciate your contribution into the forum life.
