Copy of PCB on Aliexpress - mikesloper - 11-15-2024

I purchased a board on aliexpress with the identical PCB layout as the kincony A6 board. 

What's the story behind this board? Is it made by kincony?

xxxxxxxxxxx

I plugged it in and it started smoking, lol.

This is a fake and pirated product, an inferior product.
You should report a complaint to AliExpress.

That is what I thought. Was it an ex employee that stole your hardware designs?
