What happened:: AwardCoin have blatantly plagiarized multiple sources found in the internet, some of the content doesn't even originate from other whitepapers but straight-out websites just found in Google's search engine. Their CEO's profile (including the name) appears to be stolen from an Account profile in a networking website.

Additional Notes:Note # 1 : Plagiarized Intro from another whitepaperSince their whitepaper is on a image format I have to manually search some areas of the page and the first I looked at is their intro for their ICO and instantly I got a hit. Their introduction came from MetaHash's
Whitepaper.

Note # 2 : Plagiarized Content from a Website (Even Examples are directly copied)Another plagiarism found is when they have copied the content of Crowdsignal's
article, they even use the same example for both subjects.

Note # 3 : Fake CEOThe project's CEO is also fake, from what I discovered the "Syed Khalid Hussain Shah" (If that's even a real person) is just a person part of a sketchy ad networking/ traffic website. I have found out that this "Syed Khalid Hussain Shah" of ADZbuzz also has a
Youtube channel talking about the Ad website but nothing about the Award Coin Project.

P.S.You should also take note that Syed Khalid Hussain Shah is a name used by a famous religious leader in Islam.
