Although this seems like a clear case of an attempted scam or fraudulent display of the project (which raises the question about the validity of anything said by the project), I would like someone else to review it as well before I leave a negative rating.

Thank you for pointing this out. I was not the one at NewsBTC who vetted the team for this particular project, but hopefully it's an isolated incident of which the founder was unaware or at least uninvolved. I've inquired about this in hopes of kickstarting further investigation, and also recommended more and more vetted escrow agents for the partnership to proceed.

For the partnership to proceed ? You are the first poster of the thread which gives you an edge over everyone else who knows the team better.That image is clearly photo-shopped.Since you've attempted to introduce the project to us,why don't you tell us more about the team or supplying their linkedin profiles maybe ?

Edit ; Just  found a linkedin profile of their co-founder https://www.linkedin.com/in/sri-saiteja-annareddy-982a3277/ and it's fake.He looks like a 20 years old guy with 15 years of work experience,that's his linkedin profile says.

Yes, I will demand the partnership be ended if this project is clearly a scam. I just posted it because it's a NewsBTC client and they didn't know how to post it. I don't actually know the team, myself... I wasn't expecting to have to investigate, because I am extremely busy with other projects. Please be patient but feel free to continue digging up evidence if there is any to find

Just to see team members, anyone easily says that this project is scam

Where is Ramaswamy Raja, the founder of the project?

Any other Bitcointalk accounts that need to be tagged besides: The Bitcoin Co-op? This project just stinks of a scam.

This guy @Aditya Sharma looks like he is who are being responsible for the project

Bounty status tables will be?

Yeah. We will prepare tracking sheets and publish it on the thread

There is this other guy @Ethereumplus Community

The link to the bounty info and others are broken. just FYI.

Edit: just figured out you forget the ":" on every link.

Fixed. Thanks for spotting.

Thanks. I will most likely tag them all as soon as I write up the feedback that correctly reflects on the situation. This is a "high risk project" at best.

Please don't tag us, if that means some kind of black mark, or something. I actually just put my job at NewsBTC on the line to reach out and force an investigation into the matter, and I am really not involved. This account is also jointly owned by other Bitcoin Co-op directors who are not even involved with NewsBTC. Our non-profit doesn't deserve negative feedback because I failed to pay close attention to a NewsBTC client I didn't pick up--I am honestly sorry for that, and trying to make amends.

I assure you I have expended the greatest effort I can in getting to the bottom of this, despite launching my own (legitimate) coin at the same time while managing CoinFest and Blockchain Gaming. No money has been invested yet, and I would not allow that to happen if this was a scam. Until it does, I request being given the benefit of the doubt about my involvement in the whole situation. We're actually discovering some interesting facts, right now, and have time yet to uncover them

If you are not involved in the project, why are you keeping the thread despite these *high alert* findings? Have you been paid to post the thread?

Remove or lock the thread in the meantime. I don't think people trust the wording "force an investigation" whilst you keep the thread open and let more people get suckered into this, highly likely, scam.

Well I work at NewsBTC and I was told to, yeah. I didn't investigate the project, at all, and assumed nothing bad would happen. I recognize that that was irresponsible. I am willing to delete the thread... I will do it now, actually, which you can verify. I will update you all here on the situation soon

UPDATE: It told me "You cannot delete your own topics in this board." Do I need to contact a moderator to delete my threads (never done it), and if so, which one?

You are only giving importance to this problem because someone in the DT can give you negative feedback, you did not care about people, you are only worrying about yourself, your reputation.

unbelievable

[Lauda]

Well I work at NewsBTC and I was told to, yeah.

Told to, by whom? I wonder whether the person who told you to do this was paid or is part of the project.

Horribly irresponsible indeed.

You can lock it and then move it into archival for the time being. This option can be found in the lower left corner when you visit the thread.

I have now done so, thank you very much.

Our owner. I got mad at him and he was apologetic. We're discussing it, now, and I'll have information about the entire situation soon.

I'm really sorry, and you don't have to believe me, but that's not true; I've done a lot to help people in the community without any expectations. I would have been acting the same way without threat of having the Co-op's profile tarnished. I will continue to do the best I can to prove that

I understand we might not be on mutual platform, but putting such comments without any base is not good. I have been replying to your comments doesn't mean I am founder or owner.

You guys have worked hard to figure out people involved in the project, but did not noticed the very basic essence of platform COIN/ SMART CONTRACTS. Apart from this no one can stop you if you have decided, but your freedom of speech shouldn't defame someone.

You pointed/ alleged couple of members involved in team, which i took to board and you will see the results soon.

Lets play fair. Biased is something not really required here.
