It's not plagiarism, it's a team putting the 16-year-old in front for the media attention. The crypto currency space is full of dodgy stuff, so not surprising.

The author of this post seem to have it out for the girl personally, which is unnecessary.
- FRex 9y agoShe personally claims to have written it all on her own, in the press release she also says she was intern at Sales force in Bangalore, attended MIT Launch and her profile says she is a "16 year old programmer and entrepreneur" along with a link to "my app". She also called the person disputing that a jobless disturbed bully, harasser and troll and due to internet "siding with her" the author was met with abuse for "harassing a kid" and insults despite the proof they provided about app possibly being a team work or work of someone else. And if all her social media posts are "a team" then this is even more unethical.
- TorKlingberg 9y agoYes, that's what the current social media climate is like unfortunately. An internet mob harassing someone seems to be the default answer to everything, and each person participating thinks they are fighting for justice or something. I just don't think HN piling on is going to help.
- jtriangle 9y agoSo you're saying that we should just let people lie and get away with it? Because right now she's getting away with it.
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoIt looks you're right. She was writing something, then the other guy was reviewing and correcting it, at least this is what she claims: https://imgur.com/0ihzIzy https://imgur.com/0ihzIzy
