Same perception on what his motive. Creating a clone of one of the most famous exchange site would only have reason which it might be used on phishing out bittrex users and stole valuable coins.I might be judgemental but this is the only thing comes to my mind.As i read above he dont even have a money exceeding 1 btc for creating a possible exchange which means he do had other plans.If not an exchange then what?
I am wondering how people can be
1) stupid enough to ask something like that in this forum here and
2) too short-minded to actually google how to clone a website, scams don't need a functional backend, do they?
I remember the times where scammer actually had to think about their tactics.
This is just ridicilous how every non-brainer tries to scam/phish people, without even unerstanding what he is doing..
