Surprisingly, all the people involved are real.
I have no doubt of that.
I don't know why they chose to edit certain pictures like that.
I have an idea why they decided to edit photos of the 2 team members, a few weeks ago I saw something scary on a blog about ethtrade, I guess that's why they edited this photo
Trouble is, the Raja guy is deep in ETHTrade, but he's kinda rich and influential in the community over there in India (which is why he's put as the founder). The other brains behind the operation don't care about ETHTrade and wanna publicly denounce it (which NewsBTC recommended), but Raja is threatening them.
One of these members of
www.ethereumplus.org travels to several Asian countries to advertise ethtrade.
Another member of
www.ethereumplus.org made charity in the philippines to publicize ethtrade.
you should probably keep a distance from this project.
I agree.
