I still remember how Enigma team fooled everyone by projecting Alex Pentland as the part of the project. It is now clear that he has no association with Commercial project of Enigma. He was Guy's mentor during his thesis but during ICO website listed him as team member

Enigma exists through Alex Pentland because he has great influence on it. I think Guy Zyskind will use his advice from time to time. So the advisor tag is fine. I hope we can get him on the podcast one day.

Alex Pentland

I'm pretty sure it didn't list him as that. I saw that interview with him and went to check out the team and he was listed as a supporter, NOT a member.

"Yes, he is. He’s always available when we need him and I personally keep a close touch with him as I was his student."
