I have just re-read that rather old article, and agree that it contains provable falsehoods.
Cardano is real. It has launched. https://www.cardanohub.org/en/home/
I have removed the links to the article from my Twitter posts. My apologies.

Hey guys, here to hopefully give you some more information about the Cardano project:
Please take a look at the press section of IOHK, the engineering company building Cardano. Multiple articles by mainstream media have been written about IOHK. To name a few, Business Insider, The FT, Forbes, Bloomberg and the Nasdaq Magazine (links to all these articles can be found https://iohk.io/press/). IOHK have a global team of leading scientists, academics and researchers working on the Cardano project. Cardano’s PoS, Ouroboros stands out as the first proof of stake algorithm that is provably secure, meaning that it offers security guarantees that are mathematically proven. Ouroboros is also the first cryptographic protocol to be peer reviewed at the world's top cryptography conference, Crypto 2017. Forbes wrote an article on Ouroboros being accepted at Crypto 2017, you can read it here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/amycastor/2017/08/23/at-crypto-2017-blockchain-presentations-focus-on-proofs-not-concepts The project has adhered to strict compliance standards, and there is a wealth of information available under the transparency tab on the Cardano Hub website here: https://www.cardanohub.org/en/home/. Finally, you can always look at the code to validate the work yourself by looking at the open source github.
Happy to answer any questions you guys have? Understand that there is limited information in circulation at the moment!
