The copy coin cloner works together with different scammers and he and his team creates large amounts of sockpuppets to post in the above threads (one example of a sockpuppet from the copy coin cloner is "WillowRosenborg" ).
The scam for each coin follows more or less the same pattern:
- Coin is copied by the copy coin clown and announced as a "fair launched coin"
- The announcement is done lousy so that only a few miners mine.
- Usually a small group of miners mine his coin, which have a huge reward at start (eg Quark and Zeta were completely mined after 6 months).
- After the coin is almost completely mined by the scam group and copy coin clown they are more or less able to "control" the market.
- His coins are all listed at Cryptopia so I am almost sure cryptopia is part of this scam group.
- Also ocminer always list his coins at start, so most probably he is part of this group (as ocminer indicates he only trusts coins from known devs).
- After coin is almost completely mined and rewards are small, the coin is heavily promoted (videos, twitter etcetc). People are requested to hold their coins, whatever happens.
- During mining phase there is zero development of coin (no activity at github, and copy coin clown is absent in coin thread). During heavy promotion copy coin clown pretends suddenly he is active by typing 1 or 2 sentences in github.
- High pump. People invest at high prizes, and the large bagholders (scam people) dump their bags.
- Rinse and repeat several times till it is not profitable anymore.
Some stories about his scam coins:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422149.msg20287135#msg20287135If somebody know more coins of this copy coin clown, or this group just post it below. Then I will update the list.
I don't have the illusion that with this post the scamgroup can be stopped. But I hope for more awareness.
The list is far from complete, this is just a tip of the iceberg.
This copy coin clown is also correlated with
"Bryce Weiner" thanks to this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oX_OSq4v0MThis video reveals much more coins (like the nation coins) created by this copy coin clown.
Scammer "Digitalindustry" (DI) is also active scamming (as bagholder) the following coins (with several sockpuppets for example Tara11):
- Platincoin
- Tesla
- Energycoin
- Mooncoin
- Infinitecoin
- Socialcoin
- Einsteinium
- UFOcoin (he is obsessed about UFO's)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scammer DI is mostly interested in old abandoned forgotten coins listed on lousy exchanges like Cryptopia. He buys them up and when he owns >50% of the coins he comes into action to pump and dump them.
