How legitimate those 600% ROI claims are?

[Shiroslullaby]

600% is definitely in the "too good to be true" category.

Any of these investments promising to
"double your money in a day just send us your bitcoins",
are a scam.
I assume they are a Ponzi scheme, at best.

yeah, it is ponzi or hyip scam, ppl never learn until lose if they are greedy.

Any program offering more then 3% montly usually its just a scam, as i do know banks some of them pay up to 5% monhtly, but for high accounts, soo any program offering 1-3 % daily are scam, they wanna your money to give fake interest and run away.

Today I read a price in bittelegraph about the those who can conned by Hashcloud filing a petition to get FBI and Interpol to catch those who ran Hashcloud ( not sure if company name is correct though)

Those Hashcloud ppl ran off with 40-60. Million dollars !!!
Such huge scam should be enough for FBI to pursue them and get whomever else worldwide involved if they were serious about bringing em to justice.
 

Which brings the concerns of lack on the legislation side when it comes to crypto currencies to light. Yet again.

Either "the system" exploiting such misfortune te events to discourage bitcoin wide adoption or probably if pushed hard to seriously investigate a compromise bargain to give up anonymity in exchange for instituting a law against cryptocurrencies fraud.

Isn't a cryptocurrencies a form of property after all? Why established laws aren't enforced in theses cases?

The same law that applies to theft of properties applies to crypto and Hashocean will be brought to book. You can file a lawsuit against anyone who steals from you provided you have evidence.

The anonymous nature of crypto makes this a bit tricky

If somebody offers such high rates there is always the question why he needs other peoples money.
And the answer is, that this person is only up to your money. Nothing else.
All those promises are just a trick to get your money. Always.
My advice: do not invest your coins. Keep them or turn them into fiat.

dude thats right you should be careful with third parties that provide promise for bitcoin mu mu could double within a few days or provide ROI in a short time, it is very likely that they will be a scam and will probably count against you?

[Doamader]

Those rates are pure scam offers, and most people do believe the companies fakes are with an amazing skilled traders able to earn 10% daily with altcoins, but the reality is that they just wanna your bitcoins and nothing else, soo each deposit for them its pure profit as they can stop withdraw saying a problem were found and run away.

[blackmachinegun]

I think it might be a business can benefit greatly and they are promising gains of up to 600% per year. I would invest in it if they can prove that they have a real business and they're running a business. of course I will try to invest in it

[Backside walkaround]

If you're talking about those services which promises to multiply your bitcoins, they're mostly scam.

Anyone promising that kind of return is almost 100% scammy.  So round up and call it all of those claims are scams.  There's no way you can earn that money *safely* without the thing being some kind of ponzi scheme, and if it's in the world of bitcoin, it's DEFINITELY a ponzi.  They are everywhere.

BTC capital management businesses are booming nowadays it seems.

With several new one springing up everyday. With Lots or online advertisements and big lucrative claims to boost their case.

From 30% roi to 300% and even upto 600% roi a day. Leterally. ( Whoa!!  )
To sweeten the deal even further, they even accept initial deposits as low as 30$!!


Combine that with something I read today about:
If ones wallet wasn't hacked, and some one conned u outa ur Bitcoins, it wasn't considered Criminal!
BTC are considered fair game, in the eye of the law. Hanging for grabs, so to speak.
According to the random post mentioned


That being said, I wonder how legit their claims are?
How do they do that?
Can trading crypto-currencies only make you 300-600% profits on a daily basis consistently?
What're the legal position or consequences of a fraud occurring in the BTC paradigm? Where the law stand on these issues?

If u ask me personally, this is has Ponzi scheme written all over it. But I'm not a markets wiz , so whom I to say, right??

Seems like just a scam but a lot of scammers is already having a similiar word like that... it's not always related into ponzi scheme but it's always related into scamming purpose... let's stay away...

[Dudeperfect]

Yes you can make 600%+ profits on your investments but no one can be sure about it. I don’t believe on any site which tells promises 600% ROI unless the site is facebook or google.

I have seen many alt coins rose 9,999%+ in pump and dump schemes so if you are lucky enough then it’s possible to make some profits in it but again, it should not be called trading because it’s a  clear gamble.
Don’t trust blindly, many sites will end up with -100% ROI so always take calculated risk.

You had to ask. This obviously has scam written all over it. But I do not think the people who hang out in this forum a lot will not fall for it that easily. The newbies might because of the lack of education. It is important that the people who have been here for years should look out for the newbies and give them fair warning on what services to avoid.

Also that "sweetener" is bait. They will make you money for the first $30 deposit and then skin you alive when you actually make the larger deposit.

lol yeah i always laugh why many people can still be fooled by Ponzi system and hyip, where they will give 200% double your money or more refund within a few days when they do not provide clarity about their businesses? Lol

Any company that tells you  of getting 600% ROI in a short period of time is actually a ponzi scheme that intend to  prey on every investors money and eventually turn into a scam.  Just  some logic here, if they  can produce 600% in 1 week, why would they want investor anyway?
 Here s a 16 weeks projection with 600% Roi per week

Just now I came across a new hyip service that doesn't look any more creditable than the others - in terms of transparency at least.
It also promises those ludicrous astronomical ROI but this time, to my surprise, it wasn't in Ukraine, Russia, Romania, or what not;

 it is registered in UK! and boasts about showing an official letter upfront in the welcome page.

After few clicks and searches I found out that it was a legit company number and registration letter.

How a scam like that be allowed to operate in UK?

Thought UK laws and regulations were tough to play around in that matter; After all, an estimated one quarter of the world is operating under UK maritime commercial law, is it not? Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, etc and so forth..


Must be a new loophole or something, or could it simply be legit?! 
I refuse to believe the latter. It just doesn't add up.
