Client wanted to steal the work

I got hired by a man called **Edited for Community Guidelines**, who has a company names **Edited for Community Guidelines**. First, he made me copy the work of someone else, whom I didn't know who it was at the moment. He paid for it and said he wanted to work outside the platform because he wanted to pay me better. Plot twist, he didn't. And I found out that the content was being plagiarized by a famous freelancer... 

Be careful with this man.

You knew you were copying someone else's work, just not whose?

Somebody besides you was plagiarizing, and the "fame" of that person is relevant how?

Hi!
With this topic, I thought it was a test. I had to copy an animation, done with pretty common assets, so yes, I copied it thinking it was all part of a test somehow.
