Hopefully there's a lawsuit against the three famous promoters who all made 7-8 figures scamming naive and stupid people like myself. I made my money back because I invested early but I know many, including some I invited that didn't. I'm highly apologetic and remorseful about what I did, but cryptonick, trevon or something and the other guy are not only unapologetic, they're blaming the investors and many investors are on their side!!!
I made my money back but I would've made literally 25 times more if I just held bitcoin :/
I lost a lot of money and im personally holding a steemit crudge against trevon and craig-grant, I wil become a whale and downvote their post for the rest of their steemit lives.
I suppose it's hard to foresee how these things end. I did see that the promoters are being sued so they won't get away with it. It's good job you made your money back. There is some luck involved in these things so it is sad that some people got caught in the trap and lost their money. I suppose you live and learn.
Yes you're correct, what really gets on my nerves is how unapologetic they are and in fact they are promoting new bit connect clones to make more money!!
You really can't expect very much from these kinds of people. I know it is hard for you and me or anyone with integrity to understand how someone could behave this way but they are just con artists.
I truly believe that for them it is just a game. I don't think they think about the impact of their actions on others.
first of all it's not you're foult... we all got husled by a group of thieves .. i hope justice will be made.. but.. i'm losing faith... naw that i'm allmoust bankrupt...
woahh... so much SP...
bet this is all money he's scammed from bitconnect.
makes me so angry that he is magnitudes wealthier than me even though I bet I work harder than him, but at least I (hopefully) won't be in trouble with the law :)
Happy this scam is down, better now than later. However, I don't like the fact that the government gets involved in this, the market is able to solve this. Reputation of the founders / shills is destroyed and the victims learned an expensive lesson.
Telling newbies that a copy of BTC that is created without consensus and is missing the most interesting technology and best devs is the real Bitcoin is as bad as shilling for Bitconnect. Many will be angry too when this altcoin becomes obsolete (and they lose all their money) because it doesn't serve as store of value and is more expensive for transactions than Lightning Network.
Over time all scams will be filtered out by the market. Shills will be punished by the market by loss of reputation and victims will learn and become smart investors. We don't need the government!
This was a clear con from the outset and whilst I agree with your sentiment on government involvement, you only have to look at what has happened to see that without it, nothing would happen. The founders would skip off with the loot and the promoters would skip onto the next scam!
I seriously think the promoters who were so public have more to worry about than just the law! There are slot of people who lost a lot of money and they are going to blame someone!
The founders must be cursing the fact that it came crashing down before the ICO could really take off! I never understood what they were actually supposed to be raising money for in the ICO? If they had this super trading bot that never lost and made more than 1% a day, why would they possibly need to raise funds?
I had a few friends joining in on this, tried to warn them but they didn't listen. The unbelievable thing is that they said they knew it was a scam, but thought they were early enough so they could cash out in profit.
Hello Dollar Vigilante, big fan here. I owe you a lot man, your Youtube talks got me into Liberty and Crypto and also taught me how to invest on myself is always the better choice. So I did and I’m currently developing apps to help people get into crypto in a smart, sensible way. Keep it up!
I woke up to a great surprise today that I wanted to share with you! My recently released Android app “Crypto Millionaire” made it to the Top 4th place on Google Play's Finance apps! WOW! I didn't see this coming! Just below Zelle and Paypal, say what? Check it out.
This is not only great news for the app, it's good for Crypto in general! I wanted to share this great piece of news for the world of sensible and diversified crypto investing with you (and promote the app too, I know, greed is great! Helping others and giving value to the world is even better!)
I hope the promoters get lawsuits as well, they are making videos saying "I don't give a fuck" driving around in BMW's and buying property with OTHER PEOPLES MONEY....A part of me thinks "well the people who invested should of known better" but the assholes who profited HEAVILY shouldn't be able to flaunt it and get away with it...
I know of at least three popular Youtube channels, all of which warned it was a ponzi, and took a lot of heat and negative comments. Too bad they can't have all those thumbs down and reports against their channel removed now that they are proven correct.
And yet some idiots are reinvesting in, and already have done in bitconnect X. Really???
It was a clear scam from the start and the people mentioned above are going to get scammed yet again!
Oy!

LOL that's a noble reason to want to become a whale ;)
I'm doing a 100 dollars worth of Steem give-away plus a 4500 sp up vote contest here!

I haven’t seen this. Can you link?
Sure, see this post by @tolkatore https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@tolkatore/bitconnect-will-let-its-top-promoters-take-all-the-blame-and-punishment
first of all it's not you're foult... we all got husled by a group of thieves .. i hope justice will be made.. but.. i'm losing faith... naw that i'm allmoust bankrupt...
Woah... Did you lose a lot from bit connect? I know many did but going almost bankrupt is a whole new level
I should organize a class action lawsuit against lottery. Their commercials talked me into buying lottery tickets and I didn't become a millionaire.
And now they are draining the reward pool here, can puke just thinking about Trevon "earning" even 1 steemcent, yuk, yuk, puke!
They have steemit?? Link me their profiles and I'll see what I can do ;)

Very happy that you got through this and tell the truth... btc maximalist now? :-)

They'll just take money raised from the bitconnectX ICO and use that to pay off the very same people lol
The founders must be cursing the fact that it came crashing down before the ICO could really take off! I never understood what they were actually supposed to be raising money for in the ICO? If they had this super trading bot that never lost and made more than 1% a day, why would they possibly need to raise funds?
Lol ^^^, You have a very good point @grizgal
PONZI at its finest
I had a few friends joining in on this, tried to warn them but they didn't listen. The unbelievable thing is that they said they knew it was a scam, but thought they were early enough so they could cash out in profit.
The stubborn really all get taught tough lessons.

Shouldn't the American people file a lawsuit against the Federal Reserve, Social Security and other government sponsored PONZI schemes?
So glad the biggest scam in crypto world is now gone.. but I am sad that alot of people lost their hard earned life savings.. =(

Some people never learn.
