The accused has been a bounty spammer back in 2018 and now they care to come back with posting a scam project. This long period of inactivity points towards a possible bought account. However knowing how badly accounts have been bought and sold in the past, this might be correct.

Domain relatively new and  whitepaper is copied, signs of a scam project and using the DeFi bandwagon to promote that scam only makes it more obvious.

BTW, did you check the website for the "Team" pictures? A bunch of cartoons images are posted there. I suppose that is their "TEAM" ::)
They seem to be a Korean group but again their location is in
Code:
Griffith Corporate Centre P.O.Box 1510, Beachmont Kingstown 

Now the Suite 305 in this centre is having some poor google reviews too about several Fintech/DeFi companies owning it ??? - check here - https://g.page/griffith-corporate-centre?share

Flag has been supported from my end. There is a "A-llot" of red flags here.

Yea I did but thanks for bringing it out! Though a team member list that contains cartoon images are not sufficient to conclude that a project is a scam, but if you pair it with a plagiarized whitepaper then such evidence becomes necessary to conclude it as a scam project.

Yes, It could be a brought account. But it also possible that those bounty spammer who could not be succeed  in this forum are trying to steal money by launching scam project in this Defi Trend.

Yeah, it’s too hard to launch a real project for these bounty spammers. But those scam projects has no specialty, it just buying a domain and plagiarizing different project's contents.

Maybe those who have a little skill then take advantage by making a DeFi project which will eventually turn into a scam, therefore I am sure all efforts they will do to promote where but fortunately in this forum it is faster to catch and to find out a lot of people that the project This DeFi will indeed become a scam later with the plagiarism Whitepaper.

But I believe this account changed hands and then created ANN.
