[Warning]BambooDefi plagiarised whitepaper + hiring sock puppet account
What happened: BambooDefi has been on my radar for some time because they hired bumping service in order to promote the project and those projects often proved to be a scam, especially when you add DeFi compnent. I found it a bit odd that they started lucrative signature campaign today, so decided to check it a bit more. It seems that they plagiarized whitepaper from Crypto.com and their DeFi Swap

Whitepaper https://web.archive.org/web/20201123073629/https://www.bamboodefi.com/assets/bamboo-whitepaper-en.pdf
Original source https://blog.crypto.com/defi-swap-whitepaper/
AS seen in the screenshots below, they obviously copied content from Crypto.com without providing any sort of reference. Bamboo Defi is on eht left side, and Crypto.com on the right.
All this shared is not everything, there is more copied content from the same source. As a matter of fact, even that generic Risk Disclousre part is also copied from the Crypto.com but there is no point to include more proof regarding plagiarism.
