Plagiarized Documents: Finextra article written by Charles X (https://www.finextra.com/blogposting/21252/upgrading-real-estate-tokenization-to-the-next-level) | archived (https://archive.is/cMYOv)

Additional Notes:
As the article was written by Charles X (https://www.finextra.com/bloggers/charlie) back in 15 November 2021, and this project itself was just created in less than a month ago, I think we can ruled out an excuse that they wrote the paper first and then copied by Charles. Neither they can say that Charles is part of the team and thus his published paper is used as a source, given they didn't even list the said blogger as their team.

Yeah, no question what is going on here, it is clear plagiarism. It does not appear that the blog post is associated with the EcoPark Resort project in any way. Obviously they stole someone else's content while creating their white paper, and because of that, I tagged their account. Nice catch @holydarkness.
