Facebook has been accused of plagiarizing its Libra white paper from another whitepaper published last year by some MIT researchers. The paper was named as “Digital trade coin: towards a more stable digital currency” and it was published in the Royal Society’s Open Science Publication. It was written by 3 MIT researchers: Alex Lipton, Thomas Hardjono and Alex “Sandy” Pentland. The Libra’s white paper and this other white paper published by MIT researchers have many similarities such as Libra paper suggests a coin will maintain its value from a basket of multiple fiat currencies and short-term debt. This structure has already been explained in the MIT white paper. There are various other similarities and the researcher's team believes that all of them can’t be coincidences.
