33 copycats around Orbio's winners announcement
Orbio named its ten Build Week winners at 16:34 UTC on 1 Oct. By the end of that hour, 33 tokens were using a winner's name, ticker or X account, the first launched 50 minutes before the post. Dossier had flagged 14 of them red by then: the fastest 3.8 minutes after launch, and 6 before Orbio's post was even out.

What we found
The copying started before the post.
The winners appeared on orbio.so/build between about 15:32 and 16:02 UTC. The first copy launched at 15:44, 50 minutes before Orbio posted at 16:34. 11 copies were out before the post, and 20 more landed between 17:08 and 17:29.
Foundry: every copy red, six of them before Orbio's post.
@foundryxyz posted "There is no token" at 16:02:42 UTC. Five Foundry copies were already out and unflagged; Dossier flagged them at 16:06:04, 3 minutes 22 seconds after Foundry's post and 28 minutes before Orbio's. All 8 Foundry copies of the hour are red.
$FOUNDRY #407 was red before Foundry said a word.
Its wallet had already launched copies of $TANK and $OTIS, and the $OTIS copy (#358) is a confirmed one. So at 15:56:50 Dossier flagged #407 as launched from an impersonator's wallet, six minutes before Foundry's warning.
One wallet, five winners in 52 minutes.
Wallet 0xcceb…85c3 launched $FOUNDRY #425 at 17:09, then $TRENCHES #437, $ORDESK #445, $MOONLET #458 and $ORA #466 by 18:02. It has launched 23 tokens since 29 Sep. One of them, $VENTROVE #367, is a confirmed copy, so Dossier flags everything it launches: the three inside the hour within 3.8 to 24.2 minutes.
What the hour missed.
19 copies were still being checked at the hour mark. For 16 of them the project had already said enough: @RobertoAgentApp's bio reads "NO CRYPTO TOKEN" (11 copies), Ludi had posted warnings (3), and Orbio Research Desk and Omnilog show their real contracts (2). Dossier didn't read those signals in those forms yet. On 2 Oct it learned to: a bio that disowns tokens now counts, as does a standing "no token" post, and a project's own contract post. With that, 28 of the 33 copies are red. The 5 still checking are two $LUDI agents that link nowhere and three copies of @trenches97, which hasn't said anything, including $TRENCHES97 #432, the busiest copy of the hour with 625 trades.

Every copy in the hour
What this shows, and what it doesn't
It shows
- Copycats move within minutes of a public shortlist: the first copy came 50 minutes before Orbio's own post.
- A project's own "no token" post, or a wallet that already launched a confirmed copy, is enough for Dossier to flag a copy within minutes.
- The winners' real tokens stayed verified: $TANK #292, $OTIS #355, $ORDESK #109, $ERRAND #106.
It doesn't show
- Who is behind them. The 33 copies came from 28 wallets; none is in case file 001's chain.
- That an unflagged copy is safe. 16 of the 19 had already been disowned by their projects in ways Dossier didn't read yet.

How we checked
Scope: every token launched between 15:00 and 17:34 UTC on 1 Oct, an hour after Orbio's post, whose name, ticker, X account or website matched one of the ten winners, on Orbio or straight on Pons. The winners' own verified tokens are left out. Verdicts are as of 18:01 UTC.
Time to flag is the launch time to the first evidence that turned the token red: an official post or page that disowns it or lists a different contract, or its wallet having launched a confirmed copy.
Copies launched straight on Pons have no page here; their links go to the explorer.
