OK, who cares?
When Hive's platform comes out in 4 months, the question of who wrote the whitepaper won't mean crap. I'm not sure it means anything now either.

If you want to get on your moral high horse or you simply refuse to be a part of a business that "stole" a whitepaper, that's your choice. Just like you can choose to be a part of PPT that has a CEO with a criminal past.

How you feel doesn't mean that the Hive project/company isn't viable and isn't going to make people a lot of money. If your morals prevent you from having any part of it, that's understandable, you can just watch everyone else get rich off of Hive. If you're predicting doom based on the 'stolen whitepaper' allegation, I suggest you deepen your investigation a little because Hive has managed to make significant progress no matter who wrote their whitepaper.
