Thank you for this follow up information. Stabila is off my radar, I didn't even expect Moneta to continue their works this far, given their account is no longer active since last year, and your tips helped me. I'm reinvestigating both project.
The situation in the past was --aside from the hilarious witch-hunt of accusing everybody of blackmailing them-- Moneta plagiarized whitepaper from many sources. I didn't think Stabila followed this path, especially because one third of their whitepaper is already allocated for terminology, which... by itself, is already prone to the art of ctrl+c+v. However, to prove myself wrong, I ran a duplichecker, and indeed the result is negligible.
With that out of our way, I want to lay some foundation about how
Moneta and
Stabila is connected. Just like the link you provide as well as stated on Moneta's website and Stabila's
whitepaper, Stabila is the child company of Moneta and teamed by the same people.

Several things that raised my concern upon reinvestigating them are:
1. The change of their office(s).
Although it is quite understandable for company to relocate themselves, it is quite uncanny for them to close
all of their office on big cities --and country-- and
move to a rather remote umm... town?

Something that's perhaps worth mentioning about the building where they're located, it is notoriously known for being listed as the address of a shady offshore trading company, at least that's the impression I get from reading the auto-translated review from people cross contries.
2. The lack of details about their team.
Moneta listed 9 people as their team according to their
website, but from 9 of these people, I can only verify 3 of them as a real person, in a sense that their name and record is searchable outside Moneta, and all 3 are the higher ups. From these three people, only 1 acknowledged his empoyment with Moneta, the other two didn't mention Moneta on their profile. These person are:
1. Daniel Varzari
Out of the three people, Mr. Varzari is the only one that shows and declare his relationship with Moneta, which should help us decide whether the project is real or not --if the only one person associated with the project is not provable as a real person, then it will be justified to question the project's legitimacy. However, there is
an article published --and written by himself-- on the website of other companies that he's been a board director of.

2. Igor Scvortov
Mr. Scvortov mentioned an employment with Paragon Capital on his LinkedIn, but not Moneta. However, sadly, if you try to access Paragon's website --I deliberately put the entire link here instead of shorten the link with bbcode for fair play--
http://www.paragoncapital.com/, the site will redirect you to a website called e-lease, which rather feels like that the site as well as the project itself has failed and the site is now used by other user.

3. Anastasia Kovaleva
With a little dig, I managed to get a means of contact with Ms. Kovaleva. Well, to be honest, she's very active on social media and has a lot of press published about her, indicating that out of the three, she is the most real person. Details about her is deliberately not served here to respect her privacy, because of that very reason. However, below is the proof of contact.

With all of the evidences I can gather in a day laid for public, the ball is now out of my court. I'll notify Stabila about this thread and hopefully they'll be able to clarify things. The way I see it, the easiest way to strengthen their credibility is by asking Ms. Kovaleva to reply my DM and vouch for them.
P.s.: hmm... that's odd, their ann thread as well as other threads they owned are all locked. It is also brought to my attention that the thread is
tagged by
GazetaBitcoin as thread that utilizes bumping service. I guess I don't have other way but to contact them via PM.
Edit: proof of notifying Stabila
