Many of us saw it coming, still feels bad for them though. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: Milletsky on January 20, 2018, 04:06:36 PM I think this is their exit scam by means of using this kind of issue to fabricate stories.
Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: taongam on January 20, 2018, 04:10:47 PM Everyone knew Bitconnect is a Scam. Literally everyone. The people who fell for it didn’t do any sort of research. Like not even the most tiny minimum. We all knew it will fall apart. No surprise there.
Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: TwSeventh on January 20, 2018, 04:13:25 PM what do you expect from pyramid or ponzi scheme ?
giving a reward based on their capital ? it reminds me to my old experience, back then people over hyped it and it's gone a few month later. learn from your mistake and learn from others, it's not the first time we're seeing this kind of project or service or whatever we called it. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: fitzzz on January 20, 2018, 04:42:34 PM this is the cancer of cryptocurrency and even everyone knew this kind of ponzi scheme are going to scam later other patronizing it because of hype and wanted to profit easily. all should do DYOR before investing hard earned money..

go for projects with REAL functioning software that has a use case outside of a ponzi .... then you have your value locked in. |Dont think having a huge inflated cap will save you. However they will not be able to cash out that much certainly not 2.5bn Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: Wingo on January 20, 2018, 04:56:06 PM http://stockemperor.com/currencies/bitconnect-exit-scam-suicide/ holy **** Clearly a planned scam from the very start. The bubble popped and they cannot contain it. Their promises are full of lies, you can't earn a guaranteed amount daily. Be realistic when investing your money and not on scams like bitconnect, they don't even reveal where and how the money earns a daily interest. I saw this from the very start, and even when you do the calculations, you can prove that their promised returns we're all lies. Too good to be true. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: rocky121 on January 20, 2018, 04:59:22 PM Need the regulators to go after these disgraceful ponzi schemes and try to get peoples money back.

So f*cking hilarious, I'm laughing so hard right now!!! I mean, I'm not happy seeing those people lose their money, but most of them really do deserve it. Who's stupid enough to take a loan and invest it in a sketchy ICO? Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: stanstan on January 20, 2018, 05:18:15 PM Does anybody remember one similar HUGE scam, named laser.online ?

Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: AgatioX on January 20, 2018, 05:18:57 PM Indeed that scam exit is fantastic.
But it was the only project(ok,together with less known OneCoin) where everybody was warned from so many trusted people that Bitconnect is a SCAM and ponzi (Even Vitalik said that). HOW did you people were still investing there and made this ponzicoin on 1st page ??? Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: Cryptoguru274 on January 20, 2018, 05:29:26 PM Too bad for many investors who put their money in Bitconnect because what ever story they will give about investors funds would not hold water. Next time would be investors will look for a fully decentralized platform not the lending ponzi stuff to invest their money.

This exactly! Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: bigvito19 on January 20, 2018, 05:35:45 PM Every year a ponzi scheme will get exposed
Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: crptotrader007 on January 20, 2018, 05:37:24 PM This was a known thing that they will be doing an exit scam for sure because none of the pyramid scheme can survive for a long time.
Bitconnect surely did a good thing though by giving BCC to their users which can be traded for BTC. This is the one thing I liked about them. But the coin has no real value since a major dump made it's value reach a single digit number. Despite of this Bitconnect is still planning other things like the BCCX ICO. Who knows what's gonna happen to that coin in the future. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: uszaty43 on January 20, 2018, 05:38:20 PM They all are dumbasses, that is the only answer my friend. They have been warned a lot of times, even before the exit scam. They just did it because they wanted to do it.
And i saw that one guy invested all his life savings in there. So many warnings, so many signs. What were these investors thinking? Many of us saw it coming, still feels bad for them though. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: SilverCoin300 on January 20, 2018, 05:38:40 PM It is not the only one. Other cryptos are going to fall for being the same ponzi crap. Many people knew what Bitconnect was and still invested. Look how many new icos have popped up that is similiar to bitconnect.
Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: BlueYozakuraBTC on January 20, 2018, 05:50:23 PM What they did was dirty and giving them BCC tokens like "ooh sell our trash since we got what we really wanted out of this aka BTC" BYE......
If they wanted to be fair they should have just given them their BTC back. Cruel as hell but I have fallen for the promises of ponzi's before because when you see the large balances of these people you think well why not me right? I have to say this one was the biggest I've seen in a long time. Also did you watch some of the youtubers that were promoting this? I found them to be insensitive with a " well people that weren't educated didn't do the research" etc etc. I was like wow seriously? Why don't you just spit in their face while you're at it? I remember just a few weeks ago I saw an ad for bitconnect where this somewhat giggling woman had put over $200,000 in and she wasn't even making any real money back yet. I was thinking OMG if this thing falls apart soon she's so screwed. The guy that clearly promoted this to her was all smiles with his ref commissions. She's the first person that popped in my mind when I saw the news like wait that was just a few weeks back she put that in? What the hell is she going to do now? Hope she files some immediate fraud claim.

You could be sure the owners would be leaving with a big slice of the pie. I hope that authorities can track them down and bring the justice that should be served but if they have any sense or know how they'll have put already a large chunk of that money towards new identities and now be off the grid somewhere.

Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: johstacy on January 20, 2018, 06:15:49 PM Yes, it was a very competent scam in my opinion. Those who managed to get out of the project early, but were a participant from the very beginning they earn not bad money. Of course the rest are simply at a loss. Now there are many projects that copy this financial pyramid. But they are even more impudent and do not give to earn even to those who buy tokens on ICO. They just do not betray them. They just take the money and that's it. Do not want easy money, it's better to stay away.
Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: Bytem3 on January 20, 2018, 06:18:06 PM I have been warning them for a long time but as long as they saw virtual money coming in no one cared.

no doubt they made out with a bunch of money. it was never anywhere near the billions. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: Headachez on January 20, 2018, 07:27:52 PM They may have exited but they are actually back and are getting ready to do it all over again. They're website is back up. They are now pushing their new coin.
Quote Dear community members, the current BCC price drop is the direct result of us releasing all of our members coins at one time. We will do our best to honor the value of BCC as close to what it has been holding during past several months. At this time, we are closing the lending platform only. The BCC Exchange will work as usual from tomorrow and the wallet service will remain operational to hold your BCC on the website. https://bitconnect.co/system-news/95/bitconnect-update-regarding-the-changes-to-lending-and-exchange-functions/For next 10 days we are allowing members outside the U.S.A, to participate in the BitConnect X ICO with BCC at $150. This is to support existing coin holders and give the BCC coin some initial stability after these recent events. We are launching a new, superior system as an exchange that will support several cryptocurrencies as soon as possible and BCC will be listed immediately. BitConnect Coin are limited in supply to 28 million and there are currently only 9.6 million in circulation.This scarcity of supply should create a market demand, with help and support from the community, once this new exchange begins operation. We still expect BitConnect coin (BCC) to gain its value back and you can hold your coins in the website wallet or transfer them to a QT wallet. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: Crypington on January 20, 2018, 07:36:26 PM Is there a single (former) Bitconnect “investor” that can honestly say they were not warned about this Ponzi scheme?
Not that I’m saying they should not seek legal remedies, or we should blame the victims, but use your heads, people. Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: crimsongoth on January 20, 2018, 07:39:14 PM I see people who invest in this style as gamblers.

It is evident this project should be ignored by everyone who has any common sense whatsoever. Similar to the BitConnect Ponzi Scheme, BitConnectX will only cause financial loss. :o

Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: FrueGreads on January 20, 2018, 10:42:54 PM The blind and mindless rush of people for the so called easy profit leaves me speechless. Ponzi schemes are not new, and they all follow the same rules: promises of steady profit (0.5%, 1%, 2%, etc, daily profit) and a referral program. I think most people are aware that those who get in quick normally get the profit if the scheme goes well, and the last ones will get burn. I think people entering ponzi schemes and leaving with profit should also be held accountable and their money should be held. Maybe if people that are participating in these programs were also considered "criminals" maybe they wouldn't do it again. If there are no clients for these things, maybe they would disappear.
Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: RieraMusic on January 21, 2018, 03:43:29 AM I noted it was a exit scam when I saw the interview in youtube, when the asian guy was drinking some kind of licour and the blonde girl look so nervous. They already now at that point that bitconnect was about to crash and they lied to the world saying that those were only rumours and the platform was working without problems. The bitconnect X was a scam, probably to have some money to pay the users and avoid prision. Im not sure but im sure they already knew all this was happening. They are scammers! >:(

Title: Re: Bitconnect performed exit scam with $2.5 bln and investors are suicidal Post by: Dujeff3300 on January 24, 2018, 05:26:48 AM Bitconnect is a shame on cryptoworld. I hope this kind of crypts will be eliminate in the future. So much lost to those people who wants to earn big time. Losing money is really bad experience and will cost you anxiety and life discomfort.
