Earlier quoted context omitted.

If they used Oraclize (secured by TLSNotary), impossible to forge any data, it would be as authentic as Poloniex/Kraken's APIs say it is.

so it means trusting Poloniex/Kraken's API, so not decentralized and trustless.

it also means trusting TLSNotary

From the intro: >Etheropt has no owner. Its entire operation is described and executed by an Ethereum smart contract.

That smart contract was written by a person and they should realize that there might be legal repercussions in the US at least. I have a great interest in this space (I started a failed cryptocurrency options exchange myself) and I hope that it blossoms. I would like to see regular puts and calls instead of binary options, the latter is ill-suited for hedging and really just a speculative instrument.

How would they prove that a certain person wrote it ?

And also, what if someone publish the code of someone else, who is responsible then ?
