Personally, I am not surprised by things like this, because apart from the fact that people are very forgetful, on the other hand, it is very easy to start all over again in the online world. Fortunately, there are people who expose things like this, and it's good for the public to know who is behind a project - and if everything in the OP is correct, then it's relatively easy to conclude how that project will end.

So it seems, only the name has changed - but the modus operandi has remained exactly the same - projects that promise a lot, and behind them are the same ones that ran ICO scams a few years ago.
