Note on a proposed proof of the Riemann Hypothesis by Jin Gyu Lee

This is a reformulation and refutation of a proposed proof of the Riemann hypothesis published in 2013 (arXiv:1305.0323) and in 2014 (arXiv:1402.2822). Proceeding by contradiction, the author wants to prove that if zeta(s)=0 where 1/2<Re s<1, then zeta(2s)=0, which is known to be impossible. We show that both versions of the proof are incomplete.
