Anonymous teams and copied whitepapers

A project whose team is unknown and whose whitepaper copies text from other projects, often without a working product.

What it means
Copied text and no product suggest little real work behind the token, while anonymity alone does not prove a scam.
What to watch
Sentences that also appear in older whitepapers, a working product, and a track record of the people behind it.
