You were warned of the scam project, but all you wanted was for the bounty to go ahead as soon as possible without giving it a hard thought as to why they plagiarized the project.
My advice is to always stop working with suspicious projects, no matter how hard they try to make a new white paper or create a new team. Scammers are always scammers. Look how ruined your reputation is right now.
Sorry mate!! They convinced me by saying they had recruited the inexperienced for whitepaper creation and they made a mistake.My blunder is had believed their words. I had done a mistake this time.It won't be repeat in future. It was my blunder. I will not repeat this in future. Thank you for your supports at my hard time.
When I studied the topic of plagiarism, people told me: "if a project has several lines copied from someone else's white paper, and did not indicate a link, then this is a scam."
Of course this is a very harsh opinion.
But when I see that the project has copied several pages from someone else's white paper, then this is not a mistake, this is a fraud.
On November 26, you found out about this and were obliged to stop working with the project if you value your reputation.
A year ago, users would have written you a lot of negative reviews for such an action.
