That's what these scams do. Isnt that the same thing HIVE did. They stole the Populous idea, plagerised the whitepaper. I think it was about 80% plagerised if I remember correctly. You know it is really worrying that the cryptocurrency space has become all about speculation. It is the wild wild west out there. The day all these people get burned, its going to be hell.
Overall, all these problems causes more uncertainty and doubt in cryptocurrency and gives it bad press. It's annoying.
