Nice catch @OP, as always.

Seems like Silver Coin used to be known as Aceh Coin (https://acehcoin.pro/). They changed the name buy they kept their plagiarized  whitepaper.

They probably changed the name as they were busted few months ago plagiarizing Reserve Protocol's whitepaper.

If you create a flag, ill gladly support.

The reason behind I posted another warning is changing project name without changing scammer intensions.
They don't actully care about any warnings, but using another account, which has no red trust yet, may be considered another try to fool investors.
Better be carefull and prevent any attempts of cheating once again.

Yeah I know, i don't disagree with you mate ;)

It is always better to be more vigilant in these kinds of obvious scam attempts.

Flag supported and plagiarism is obvious.

Looks like their team can be found here:
https://icobench.com/u/nanda-yusra
https://icobench.com/u/ahsan-abbas
https://icobench.com/u/aimal-abbas

I wonder how their other 'projects' are doing with plagiarism...
