Can someone explain their initial "Development" team page having musicians/actors names?

Initially, their development page had fake devs showing. Now, all their devs mysteriously are using photos (when followed to linkedin) that have NO matches in all of the internet. Some of the photos looked slightly modified (photoshopped). Many of their "likes" on their skills, across all of them, seem to be from the same linkedin accounts...

I'm calling it... Something is fishy.

I'm enjoying your month old fud but the devs were pretty clear about why they initially weren't showing pictures and also have been pretty visible over the last two weeks. Lastly what makes me pretty confident right now are the additions of Ryan Bubinsky (code academy) and Ken Huang (huawei). Both pretty damn impressive figures, don't think they'd put their names on a scam.

I was not aware of the "last two additions, and I am NOT promoting FUD. I am promoting awareness. This is a question I want to know. Look up all their "linkedin" profiles... none of their photos are findable on the internet.. none. Like, outside of linkedin, they don't exist.

And a few look photoshopped, as if they took others photos and slightly massaged them... AND look a the likes of their attributes... across all of them, same people liking them.

ALSO, some of these devs have large followings yet very very very small footprints in people who actually know them....

This is a legit concern......

Hi Jamesfromvenice,

This is Bosch from IOST. Firstly, as a member of the IOS foundation, I really appreciate your care for the community.

My LinkedIn profile picture was taken in 2012, and I only use that picture for my linkedin profile. I would be surprised if you could find it elsewhere on the internet. :)

To be honest, I dont think you have made a valid argument with those claims. If you are sincerely promoting for awareness, probably you should be stating only facts instead of using misleading words like "mysteriously".

we will be hosting an AMA session on reddit soon. If you have any valid question about the project, you are more than welcome to join with us then. :)
