Good catch, my man. Did you report him for plagiarism? If you didn't, please do. It's good to point it out to the community, especially in a thread like this, but copy/pasting is a permaban offense and the mods need to know about it. I'd also suggest that when you cite examples like this, say whether it's been reported or not.

He's definitely shot himself in the foot.

Yup, already reported. His "Quick Fact" being completely unrelated to everything else made me pretty suspicious.

Good. Though he used quotation marks, that's totally the wrong way to use someone else's content. I'm not sure if bitcointalk has a written standard for this--I've never seen it, but I don't really quote things--the right way to do it is to cite the source. Just using quotes is meaningless, because it doesn't allow anyone to check the original writing.
