Title: Plagiarized Whitepaper - MetaSystem Token Post by: holydarkness on June 13, 2023, 04:49:59 PM What happened: Plagiarizing whitepaper and website
Suspect's Profile Link: N/A [They don't have an official account here, far as I know. However, we have...] BM's Profile Link: Crypto Bountyes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3539048), the one and the same with ahmim (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3512729)[1] Suspect's Website: https://metasystemtoken.io/ | archived (https://archive.ph/GBV1M) Suspect's ANN thread: N/A Suspect's Bounty thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454471.0 | archived (https://archive.fo/BRBjo) Suspect's Documents: https://metasystemtoken.io/white-paper_MSYS.pdf | archived (https://web.archive.org/web/20230613112301/https://metasystemtoken.io/white-paper_MSYS.pdf) Plagiarized Source:
Flag Raised: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3185 Additional Notes: [1]Crypto Bountyes uses and redirects us to the following group for his bounty: https://t.me/CryptoBountyes with @samil507 as their bounty manager. [1] [suppose he edited the link after this thread posted, the archived page still shows this fact] I'm from the ahmim Baunty Management Community. I want to run a bounty campaign with your project. Let me know if you're interested. I've preached a lot of bounty campaigns before. According to everyone, my medium of promotion is different, but everyone likes it. Also ask me any questions if you want to do more about a bounty campaign. My Contract Telegram: https://t.me/samil507 [...] Ahmim and his alt, Crypto Dotar was previously exposed for managing scam bounty campaigns in the past (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5442018.0). [2]Other than the plagiarized whitepaper, I found extreme similarities of their web design with a project called Tetrix Token (https://archive.fo/hn21j)[2] Some screenshot for easy view: It'll be quite hard to read through their WP, thanks to the strategic decision to put black-over black of the texts over their logo. I've tried to highlight it to boost visibility. Hope that helps. https://i.ibb.co/mSLvCYn/Copied-1.jpg (https://ibb.co/SJhQX1k)https://i.ibb.co/gyQSQqR/Original-1.jpg (https://ibb.co/R2t3trD) https://i.ibb.co/60PMf7G/Copied-2.jpg (https://ibb.co/N2jvHdf)https://i.ibb.co/BzG3LDF/Original-2.jpg (https://ibb.co/Gx9p7wN) https://i.ibb.co/8mPtyCj/Copied-3.jpg (https://ibb.co/MgPQzvR)https://i.ibb.co/zhZn4Wp/Original-3.jpg (https://ibb.co/jvD6r9m) [1] https://i.ibb.co/3RmfBbR/cryptobountyes.jpg (https://ibb.co/PDGTwyD) https://i.ibb.co/BsR8TXB/Samil.jpg (https://ibb.co/tC5yY7D) [2] https://i.ibb.co/b1p5hSV/Copied-web-1.jpg (https://ibb.co/kKY2nRT) https://i.ibb.co/mD5Pxjs/Original-web-1.jpg (https://ibb.co/r72XWjP) https://i.ibb.co/2q9KgwZ/Copied-web-2.jpg (https://ibb.co/NxvYZXT) https://i.ibb.co/wd3xvsm/Original-web-2.jpg (https://ibb.co/df1zhgY) Title: Re: Plagiarized Whitepaper - MetaSystem Token Post by: Broadanbig on June 13, 2023, 05:49:58 PM How could a bounty manager not do a proper background check on this project before commencing on promoting them on this platform. These are the problems facing us here. Just because of peanut paid to the bounty manager, he failed to do the needful in doin cross examination to ascertain how genuine and plagiarism free their white paper could be.
Did the project not have a team to put up good white paper for the them? How would they explain this to their investors that their white paper was plagiarized and not their original make. These are the signs of scam projects. I would advise anyone dealing to be very much careful with them.

I found and would like to think (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5442018.0) that this is the MO of the projects that the group --or perhaps it's a single entity, one person with his alts, behind the bounty team-- managed, no team details, questionable whitepaper. They most likely hired the BM and not the well known campaign and/or bounty managers for this very reason, because they know the BM wouldn't care to do a research before accepting the job. Title: Re: Plagiarized Whitepaper - MetaSystem Token Post by: FatFork on June 13, 2023, 08:15:26 PM I'm pretty sure the whole team is fake, as it appears they are using stock or AI-generated images for their profiles. I found at least

Great catch holydarkness; well doneThis bounty manager doesn't want to learn from his mistakes, I don't know where he gets these projects from, maybe he finds them through the dark web and contacts them in order for them to hire him to post their nonsense here. I'm slow as a turtle ;D @FatFork beat me to post the proof about their fake team, well done you too man. https://i.ibb.co/R476QYc/1-horz.jpg Now a plagiarized Whitepaper and fake team, the result is that it's a scam project of the first degree, I hope bounty hunters stop promoting it. Title: Re: Plagiarized Whitepaper - MetaSystem Token Post by: FatFork on June 13, 2023, 09:08:33 PM I'm slow as a turtle ;D Me too! I was just about to post that one as well, but you beat me to it. We should team up next time instead of getting in each other's way. :D It's worth mentioning that they have edited the images by altering certain facial features to make it harder to detect. This clearly indicates their intention to deceive potential investors and is a characteristic feature of a typical scam project. Title: Re: Plagiarized Whitepaper - MetaSystem Token Post by: holydarkness on June 13, 2023, 10:04:26 PM And here I am, not even realizing that there is a team section. I must have confused myself and looking at the Tetrix's website --the team button was just a placeholder for their case-- instead of MetaSystem's in between archiving pages, screenshots, and writing the thread... or maybe I'm getting rusty at this, LOL. Nonetheless, good job for you both, I really appreciate both of your help and contribution. [...] Now a plagiarized Whitepaper and fake team, the result is that it's a scam project of the first degree, I hope bounty hunters stop promoting it. I don't think they even wandering around this board and thus, this thread might go unnoticed. I think I can write an open invitation to ahmim/Dotar/Bountyes on their group, inviting them and effectively informing each of their participants about the current situation, but I am very well aware that they can simply delete my chat and the attempt become useless. I am mulling over raising a flag type-1 against them --was asking the same for other people's opinion about it on the reputation board-- as that'll be quite effective to warn newbies and it can't be deleted by them, but if I have to be honest, I think a flag is quite a drastic and incorrect step for the very reason I said on the said thread, [...] In one side, I think they're not the owner the project, thus they're not directly scamming anyone and no one is --directly-- at a risk of losing money by dealing with them, nor there is a casual or written contract being breached, so none of the three types of the flags matched their case here. But, I'd like to think there is a fine line between naive due to the lack of experience and couldn't-care-less-as-long-as-I-get-paid in accepting to manage bounties. I guess I have to take this with me to The Dreaming. |
