I'm a volunteer community admin of PancakeSwap, and I want to assure you that the project has absolutely nothing to do with Tanvir or his people. The project has grew a lot since November, to the point of even having a partnership with Binance itself (

Listen, I am a nerd and geek, acting as opensource developer since 25 years and deep into blockchain & cryptofinance.
I am certainly not interested to discredit the PancakeSwap platform.
However, I have worrying indications, that something is fishy there.
I just pulled-back a 5 digit figure amount of assets from that platform.
True, your link above indicates some sort of collaboration between Binance and Pancakeswap and it's not BINANCE's role, to play Private Investigator or Police. We also now from Binance, that Pancakeswap has never been audited:
https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/a-guide-to-pancakeswapIn other words, the government could not be blamed of bankrobbers using their state highways for their getaways.
So can BINANCE not be blamed to be the blochchain carrier of fraudulent ponzi scam tokens.
I propose to simply not bring BINANCE into play if you would like to raise trust and to reduce the complexity of the following question:
Is pancakeswap.finance a fraudulent ponzi scam?
Well, let's forget, that I was kicked out of the forum a few days ago after raising a critical question, these things happen and this is background noise. PancakeSwap is saying, they are all motivated and anonymous opensource developers. I certainly do not expect a corporate level like service. Let's also assume that PancakeSwap is not a fraudulent token and let's furthermore assume that you are a motivated PancakeSwap volunteer Admin as you stated.
How would you explain the following then:
I intended today to increase my stake massively. I was asking quickly in the official PancakeSwap telegram forum, why I was not able to deposit (stake) e.g. 5000 CAKE tokens in one go, I could only perform the deposits in many smaller junks. I just wanted to understand, whether there is an upload limit and how I could get rid of it.
A friendly PancakeSwap Admin (was it you?) was opening a private chat with me and proposed, that I need to "validate" my Metamask wallet using the website
walletsconnect.online in order to remove the upload limit? This particular website asks for mnemonic seeds or private keys
(!) which is clearly unacceptable and a very obvious a phishing scam page that is also listed on the radar of established security scanners:

Try to answer, why you or your PancakeSwap Admin team were instructed to direct a PancakeSwap user to the scammer site walletsconnect.online for the validation of a private wallet?
Best,
