Hello there,
First off, we want to commend your efforts to trace such contradictions on our whitepaper. And we do acknowledge the fact that the whitepaper was plagiarized. However as a team consisting of mostly non English natives, we did hire a "native writer," (with claims of experience writing whitepapers...) to help prepare the Whitepaper for the project. This was based on a rough draft of what the value proposition and idea of the project is, which we sent to our initial writer. Our mistake was not doing proper checks on the originality of the paper, which we do regret.

At the moment we have put down the whitepaper and have contracted an acclaimed writing agency to do a total rewrite with strict supervisions from the team.

We do apologize for such negligence as we are currently doing everything possible and ethical to proof our innocence and sincerity, with this project. We hope to slowly gain back the confidence of the community, with the right steps. We would appreciate any observation and criticism on our official thread or any of our social media outlets. You replies would be greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely,
Bitcrore Team.

We really do hope you are not here trying to scam forum members here in BCT as an ICO's whitepaper really tells a lot whether your ICO is legit. Based on your excuse this only shows how your irresponsibility in your part which is still a big issue for any ICO developer. Now that they have caught you having a plagiarized whitepaper a lot of members here will keep an eye on you proving if you are a scam.

Thinking like this making much project bankrupt.

Big team = big payouts = big chance for collapse
