Personally, I believe that the team is one of the critical and most important information that a project should have. The team is the one who will think, develop and make that project a reality, otherwise it will all be just an idea, a dream. So since it is on of the basic foundation of a legitimate and successful project, it should always be on the top of the list of the things that you should know more about when looking for a project. A project without a team or whitepaper is more often than noy is just a scam.
