I initially drafted a rather lengthy manuscript of how I unravelled the identity of the culprit who plagiarized my article on Opera News but because of the seriousness of the other discoveries made thus far, I have decided to make it as brief as I can.
As a follow up to my earlier post after having not received any update from the support team of opera news pertaining to my complaint. I have sent them another DM on Twitter which has not been responded to as at the time of making this post.
An idea occurred to me that I could search for my plagiarized article in the opera news app as I had once written some articles on their platform a while back. So I redownloaded the app and did just that. Lo and behold there was my plagiarized work. After finding my work I dropped a comment in the article drawing the attention of the culprit to the fact he is not crediting the original authors for posts that aren't originally his.
Out of curiosity I checked the list of posts by the same author and something seemed eerily familiar about them. It appears that since he joined read.cash he has been copying posts from this platform to post on opera news. I am yet to determine whether he chooses randomly or has some criteria for selecting which post to copy.
Below are screenshots of the list of posts which I suspect are copied from here as well as links to the ones which I have found out as at now to have been plagiarized. The links come in pairs. The fist being the original and the second being the plagiarized.

The links that are highlighted and in italics are for the plagiarized posts.
I want to request the assistance of members of the community watch as well as all other writers who see this post in determining the status of the other posts which I am yet to address.
Lastly if the culprit is seeing this post, I think you no longer have the option of acknowledging the original authors anymore but rather take down those plagiarized posts that were copied from read.cash. Let this serve as a warning to others who are doing or planning to do same. You are not being smart and cannot hide what you have done forever. Truth and Justice will surely prevail even if it is delayed .
Update: In summary these are the authors including myself who I have discovered to have been plagiarised thus far:
