Bamboo (BBO) - Plagiarized Whitepaper

[GreatArkansas]

ANN Thread: 🌿🌎 [ANN] Bamboo (BBO) - Insurance for Everyone! | archived
Archived/Mirror file of their Whitepaper: docdroid | Zippyshare Uploaded | Scribd | I can't archived the original whitepaper

Thread creator: thebamboo.io
FLAG CREATED: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=587

I know this is a very small part of being plagiarized, but plagiarism is plagiarism. Check my evidence below.

It is really intended a plagiarized on some sentence of the whitepaper and images.
Since if you can see on the original author on some sentence or image they used, they site their another/original source but on the whitepaper of Bamboo, no sources.

Copy: Also page 9 on the whitepaper.


Original is in this URL: https://issuu.com/charlton_media/docs/hca_nov16feb17_lowres
Even the author on that e-book, stated some names or maybe author from the other books which is "Sarah Butler, a PwC Australia national healthcare leader."


And additional images copied without siting their source:
Copy:


Original: https://issuu.com/charlton_media/docs/hca_nov16feb17_lowres
If you can see in the original image, they also sited their sources, but on the copied image by Bamboo, no source said.

You really intended it to plagiarized, even you will create a version 9999.999 of your whitepaper, you really did plagiarism and in that action, people will doubt on your project, especially on your upcoming ICO.
Are you really creating version 2.0 of your whitepaper or you just said because there are some contents in your whitepaper are plagiarized?

[thebamboo.io]

Hello once again!

WP v.2.0 has been released!
https://tokensale.thebamboo.io

All the previous concerns (missing references in the White Paper and Bamboo Team updating their LinkedIn) have been addressed. We appreciate your diligence and attention, and your feedback is always welcomed and appreciated as we continue to improve the Bamboo project in all ways possible.

Thanks again!

Its seems Bamboo is promoted by Bounty Hunter, here is link : https://bountyhunters.io/campaigns/Bamboo. I have tagged Bounty Hunter previously for private key issue. They were quite shady from the beginning. They don't like to do their own diligence about projects, otherwise how a project with plagiarized whitepaper promoting by them?  All hunters should avoid them otherwise just would be waste of time.

Exactly, that user also keeps PMing me about the plagiarized whitepaper issue. They keep telling they already have their another version of their whitepaper, look also above their post.
For me, it will never change anymore even they will create a hundred version of their whitepaper since they already intended to plagiarized at beginning.

In the first place they should know that if they plagiarized, people will lose trust on their project, whitepaper is very important because this is where all housed the relevant information of the project and every crowdfunding project, must know this is an integral part of crowdfunding, are they so ignorant on this sections and they did not drop on this sections to see many projects are ruined because of plagiarism, now they are one of the list.

The below message is long but is worth a read.

As you have noticed, the reason we have messaged you so many times (and you ignore all of our messages) is because the red trust you have left for WP plagiarism and team has been addressed and 100% resolved. 

See the LinkedIn of our team members,  and the new WP here: https://tokensale.thebamboo.io/documents/Bamboo_White_Paper.pdf   

For an instance, your red trust and the yellow flag NO LONGER holds true. We appreciate you warning the community of any ‘red flags’ where they are deservant as more than 90% of projects these days are scams, however real, authentic and long-term vision projects deserve a chance, and BAMBOO is that project.  If we didn’t care about our reputation and community support, we would not pay attention to your comments and just ignore them.  We have addressed all your comments, and so it is only fair that you do the same.   

As per our many private messages to you, please consider:

When the WP V1 was prepared, the writer, in error, omitted to reference some parts of the WP.  The information that was not referenced was research, statistics and facts from government, health and non-governmental organizations.  All other information in the WP is original and the project is 100% authentic with a very strong backing.   If we wanted to plagiarize intentionally, we would plagiarize other things as well. The omission of references was never intentional, and the team failed to notice this unfortunately before the WP was released.  When the sale was open to the public, the WP was already corrected.

The vision and mission of Bamboo is 100% authentic and original, with the very strong backing from Archipelago Group, which is well funded business that is generating a total revenue of USD205.7 Million in the past 5 years, USD 20 Billion of Total Sums Insured Managed over the last 5 years, and has over 2 million customers which Bamboo has access to.  Only a HANDFUL of all blockchain startups have such strong team and ecosystems behind them.  We are not here for a quick buck, we are here for the long term, to bring a healthier life to everyone, even those that can’t afford it!

In September, 2019, the United Nations invited Bamboo to the UN General Assembly (UNGA 74) Media Zone where Bamboo discussed the project on a panel in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3.8.1 - 3.8.2.  Here's the video proof:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=Dkv_gy192FY  As you can imagine, UN does extreme due diligence on all the projects they work with, and if they though BAMBOO could not be trusted they would not work with us.   

Bamboo also has multiple existing partnerships with respectable companies, and we will be announcing many more in the next few months. You can verify this information on our website and also through MoUs we have signed.  If we were here for the quick buck, would we care to go through all the trouble and work to sign contract with 25 reputable partners?

It is clear that BAMBOO is a serious, long-term vision start-up backed by a strong and successful institution. I don’t know what further evidence you need in order to remove your red flag, but do let us know and we would consider it.  It is clear that we care about our reputation, and that we pay careful attention to the constructive criticism from the public, because at the end of the day, BAMBOO is here for the people.  We are trying to make something good in this world by making other people’s lives better, to help them live longer and happier. If you don’t support our mission, that is perfectly fine. But please consider others who actually NEED our ecosystem to live a better life.

Hi there!

I am the Bamboo project representative (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5171420.220).

You pushed a "support" to our yellow flag (right there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2652635), but there's no reason for it because it no longer holds the truth. You may ask "what? give me the proofs man", and that's why we kindly ask you to read this message below (which you can also find at the Scam Accusation thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5172793.0). Need to be mentioned, like 4 users already removed their red trusts, and only 2 people left, but we are blocked by them everywhere and that's why it will take some time to contact them, but we are sure: they will delete their red trusts as well, meaning in total that publicity trusts us and people on our side.
We also reached the soft cap! (at 20%).
https://www.cgcx.io/market/bamboo-token
This would be unreachable for a scam project.

You can also help us if you'll forward this message to these two people since we need to contact them somehow (we are blocked everywhere by them and never received an answer to our last message with facts and explanation), but it's all up to you (but your help will be immeasurably appreciated).

Two users, who completely ignore us everywhere:

Who else has been PM by this user bizfyn_ru about this accusation to them? This message above is directly sent to me and bones261 as we have supported the flag against their project, though my flag will not affect as I'm not on DT. I think to resolve this issue is to talk it here in this thread and I think it is more appropriate to talk it here in forum rather than just messaging privately every user that supported the flag.

I have also received this PM from bizfyn_ru to delete my flag support to the user thebamboo.io
I agree with you, they need to start from here if they want to do something with his reputation.

After reviewing this topic and @bizfyn_ru fingering to his problem, I still see no reason to oppose support to this flag. This flag is because of plagiarism and questionable team member, as I know it is are the first signs of fraud in the announcement. Creating new WP (after scam accusation) can not annul that you are started with stealing someone's work and represent it as yours.
Also, I am curious, what would happen if this topic not created? would you make a new one version of WP? Of course, we will never know that.

Potential investors need to know if the project has any problem and to recognize if there is a risk.

[stompix]

Let's see who opposes the flag apart from bamboo.io

AltairBetelgaize account with two posts, both shilling for 7 seconds...which is a dead project (website,fb) eveything is deleted
museakira78 who is also an account used for shilling projects like diamtoken, guess what...fb, twitter again deleted, token is dead with no transactions for almost 200 days...

Coincidence? Maybe...Probably it was a coincidence that the other projects had also a huge team with same little info about them.....coincidence lets say
But I already supported the flag when this topic was bumped (prior to looking at who opposes it) and I'm not going to change my opinion.

museakira78 and patrickmakdn doing +/- daily bump in bamboo ANN using identical style of posting.
Watching his ANN, also I am sure that flags need to stay on.

We also reached the soft cap! (at 20%).

it is very hard to believe in this.

I received a PM too but i haven't communicated to the sender yet. I mean if they are serious about resolving the issue then there is no better place than this thread. Sometimes i believe in second chances but it definitely has to be a genuine move before i can remove my support for the flag.

[rhomelmabini]

Looks like it because they've been caught off-handed they'll just take the initiative to revise it wherein if they really are a trusted project in the first place they'll think ahead about this kind of issue.

Coincidence?

More like a paid shill bumpers to me that take a little extra to oppose the flag for a cent.

We also reached the soft cap! (at 20%).

it is very hard to believe in this.

I doubt that one too and to be honest, haven't heard that exchange yet and still I really doubt that happens. They should prove otherwise that they are a trusted project by delivering it even their trust has been dismantled (though it's really true they plagiarize contents).

I received a PM too but i haven't communicated to the sender yet.

I didn't bother to reply but I've read the whole message and think this kind of thing is better to resolve publicly.
