Any one that got scammed by bit connect is a scammer as well.
Where did you think the interest was coming from folks? it was coming from those people you falsely led to a ponzi to get scammed so that you could get paid your profits ( lets call it loot)
There are hundred (read millions) of people who got scammed by bitconnect. Mostly newbies who were too naive and delusional that this "Lending, staking" platform was going to be huge. Even their account on bitcointalk was given negative trust. If they did not do even the the basic research on bitconnect then nobody can help them.
The interest was fake buzz created with the help of their "Referral program". Several youtubers and reddit shills used to spam the internet and every other social media with their bitconnect referral links and thus it became popular. They even did some campaigns here on bitcointalk IIRC.
Such ponzi/MLM schemes are always there to scam people and one should be vigilant about where they are putting their money before going to money dreamland and denying the inevitable.
I introduced a friend to crypto.
So when i first did he was very skeptical and he asked time to do his own research.
@ months later i find he put in 2,000$ in Bitconnect. I warned him about it and a few weeks later i found he now had 3000$ in it and planning to put in 2500$ in another.
That day as he needed me to help me get the 2500$ BTC to invest inn his second Ponzi i refused to buy. Later , i agreen to buy him 1,000$
A week later he calls and BCC is gone.
One week later his second Ponzi too disappeared and he lost 4500$ that quick. that was his initial money in the crypto world. lmao
