Someone Used My Project, Re-uploaded It, and Won
I need to report an issue regarding my project HospitALL. Another participant copied my work, re-uploaded it under their own name, and even won with it. I am the original developer of this project, but someone with a private account downloaded my video, cloned my repository, and presented it as their own.
Here is clear proof that the project belongs to me:
GitHub repository with full commit history: https://github.com/MukeshAofficial/HospitALL
My official Devpost submission: https://devpost.com/software/hospitall-n70lkp
My YouTube video (uploaded earlier): https://youtu.be/Mm4wUFJpGpQ?si=ZCV351WNdouCuLvn
I also have a full screen recording of the entire project creation process (hours of footage) that I can provide as additional evidence if needed.
I kindly request the organizers to look into this matter urgently and take appropriate action.

This whole hackathon was fishy (idk maybe a scam). From how the cash prizes went down from being that high to $450 and now $0, to how i cannot find any digital presence of the judges. Also the discord invite link is invalid. And the results were out too soon, after the submission ended.

All hackathons are money laundering schemes. The winners are fly-by-night participants close to the organizers. Just know that.

Yeah, i have all the chat proofs with the organiser and the volunteer. He himself admitted to this and even tried to negotiate with me, but I refused. After that, he ran away with the entire prize amount
