I have the feeling that copying documents, in particular white paper, is a common practice among cryptocurrency exchanges. Even the largest exchanges such as Binance did not hesitate to copy a bit from Bitmex exchange. I understand that all exchanges are similar, not all of them are scammers, but such behavior depresses me anyway.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of plagiarism, and the links I posted are not the only resources. To create such a document, the developers stole several other people's phrases from other sites.

You can see for yourself by checking their document yourself. There is a lot of other people's material.

I tagged them myself and supported the flag. It's not just industry-specific information copied and not referenced. They literally replaced their excahnge name with the ones they stole from and copied everything else as if it was their own.

Not sure if anybody noticed but their announcement thread was locked for a while. What was that about (it's unlocked now), did they change something?

I tagged them too. Copying content from other projects is so shady and the culprits should never be trusted. At least if the idea was the same but the content was not a direct copy-paste from another exchange's content with only the names changed.

They changed just a few details in their ANN according to LoyceV's archive: http://loyce.club/archive/posts/5236/52368055.html
