Post by: Theb on June 01, 2019, 07:58:49 PM
What happened:: CryptoYen has plagiarized various ICO whitepapers and both their website and whitepaper contains no team information.

Website (https://cryptoyen.icu/en) [Archived (http://archive.is/ImedI)]

Additional Notes:

Note # 1 : Plagiarized Whitepaper
CryptoYen have plagiarized content on both Lytix (https://www.lytixchain.org/lytix_whitepaper_v1_1.pdf) and and PIVX (https://pivx.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/PIVX-White.pdf) whitepaper. Also to note that PIVX is the oldest project among the three but Lytix in it's whitepaper stated that they are inspired with the PIVX project and still copied directly some parts of the whitepaper.

Note # 2 : No Team Profile

Aside from their plagiarized whitepaper they also didn't mention any kind of team members involved in the project. Looking at the bottom of the page you will see that SmartInsider (the one who posted the ann thread) is directly affiliated to the website. Also stated in CryptoYen's website is in SmartInsider is also the creator of ZijaCoin which their website link (link stated in SmartInsider's profile (http://archive.fo/ipPb9)) is zija(.)icu will instantly redirect you to their recycled ann thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4883319.msg43982357#msg43982357) [Archived (http://archive.is/DJ1K6)] which is now use as CryptoBang's ann thread (will be looking into this next).

Good catch. There's no excuse in this day and age for a project to plagiarize their white paper. If you're going to have an anonymous team, at least offer something truly disruptive and revolutionary. That's about the only excuse for remaining anonymous. This project is more or less just another copy-and-paste masternode project.

They almost got away with it, the good thing is I still continued to check the rest of the contents of the plagiarized whitepaper since it's just only a few pages on nonsense. Another thing that I found out today is that the other project of SmartInsider, CryptoBang, is the new name for their ZijaCoin project that is why they are re-using the old Ann thread for that project.

Yeah its pretty common now to find similarities on those projects because they don't want to waste their time for creating a new one. Usually they copy paste from their other existing projects and they think they could make investor fool easily by doing slight changes. Awesome work mate.
