READ: Last November 09, 2020, I posted on their ANN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5287954) an accusation against the project since their website had a similar content with YFIM.MOBI's website. Unfortunately, defitoken ignored my accusation and proceeded to create a new ANN. As correctly pointed by @holydarkness, YFIB copied the contents of YFI.MOBI which was also a scam project that was last reposted on September 19, 2020


Copied content:





Do we have an ann thread for YFIM or an official timeline when they first started their project? Maybe unrelated, but those opening were also used in another YFI-letter project, this one is YFIQ, although they seemed to be dead now. How reputable is YFIM? Can't find their ann thread, I'd like to learn about them.

READ: Contents of the ANN were copied and plagiarized from two (2) sources, namely: dyp.finance and dify.finance. While I do understand that there may be DeFi-related projects with almost the same contents, copying and only altering the name constitute plagiarism. Also, I do have some serious doubts as to the identity of one of their members, namely AMELIA BRIGGS as it may be computer generated (hopefully you guys can check it).

I highly suggest that you avoid dealing with this user. In addition, the user did not answer to my allegation as his last online was on November 17, 2020.

READ: Contents of the Whitepaper have been plagiarized from Zac.finance's whitepaper. When I confronted them on their ANN, they reasoned that they lacked the time to create their whitepaper, thus they resorted to copying the contents of Zac.finance's whitepaper. This reasoning is unacceptable in plagiarism and should not be tolerated at any cost. Until they create their original whitepaper, this accusation stands.

Editing and replacing it with their name TREXCOIN on certain pictures and images were done to make it appear that they originally created such idea. Basically, trex coin copied its contents from Swiftcash, Apisplatform, NXT and wanchain's WPs.

Hi upon checking the contents of your ANN

Ahh, since you're here already, I'll leave this one out. I'm currently investigating the other project you mentioned, that comet thingy, their dev was really to respond, but I am rather sure it will also be a scam.

What happened: STOLEN CONTENT




READ: After giving some time to explain about my accusation against the project and after carefully monitoring his activity, he ignored my message and he deleted his past replies in his post history (around March 2019 was his last post). Interestingly, the project was an exact replica of Yearn Finance Connect which was created first. I'll be posting a picture of a comparison of their domain. There is also the potential of the other project (Yearn Finance Connect) also being a scam but for now, please stay away from Yearn Finance Red!
