The FBI is looking for investors who suffered from Bitconnect scam and in the link below where the article can be found they have provided a form to be filled out by those who've been victimized. I'm thankful I didn't listen to one friend of mine who recruited me to bitconnect at that time, I've been warned by a closed friend not to engage in any pyramid schemes and those that promise too good to be true interests in their investments daily.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Yeah, I saw the news too. I think it is absolutely right that the FBI is investigating this project. Scammers should be punished. And the victims must be compensated.
I recommend to those who lost money in this project, do not hesitate and fill out the proposed form.

I didn't check the link but why now?

The scam stunt has been pulled eons ago and why does the FBI will involved themselves just right now? It doesn't makes sense, unless this is a show of force on their end and sending a signal that scam projects are being hunted and put to justice and victims will be compensated.

I think because one of Bitconnect's promoters has been arrested and put behind bars already on the time this article was posted so the issue has been resurrected and not to deny that there are indeed a lot of investors who've lost huge amount of money in this scam.

Listen, if Mt. Gox couldn't get away with it, Bitconnect wouldn't be able to completely wash their hands of this either.
And in all honesty, most of us have gotten over the Bitconnect drama, I am concerned about a recent more heinous fraud.
Yep, talking about the Quadriga death scam.
Authorities, especially Canadian authorities should look into the issue of the Quadriga guys' death. That guy is trying to pull a ball of bigger wool over everyone's eyes. How can a guy forget to share key information about the secured wallet that has millions of customer funds and still remember to leave $100k for his dog in his will?
Don't get me wrong, if I had a dog now and I was rich I'd leave enough money for the dog as well as my family to live their entire lives comfortably but it won't be at the expense of people's hard earned money.

Yeah, I saw the news too. I think it is absolutely right that the FBI is investigating this project. Scammers should be punished. And the victims must be compensated.
I recommend to those who lost money in this project, do not hesitate and fill out the proposed form.
The questione here is who will compensate the loses of the victims. This scam was not owned by only one person and the problem now is to find those people behind this pyramid scheme.

    There are many questions that demands answer. We can only hope that FBI will find some answers, one more thing
is important, they need to find and mark people who are the most responsible for BitcoinConnect ponzi scheme. Many
people pointed that fact long before it happened.
   Interesting is that in this scheme participated people from entire world. This will be first of a kind operation I think, it
will be interesting to watch development of FBI investigation and outcome of that investigation.



BIG WINNER!

Bitconnect was obvious ponzi from day one.

Maybe i am a little bit harsh but people who lost money in this, don't deserve to have any money at all.

This is excellent, I hope they succeed in punishing the guilty as severely as possible and returning as much money as possible to the victims. We need such a case, the impunity of the scammers must end.

I hope they are not looking for these people to make any accusations against them? Perhaps they found the organizers of this financial pyramid and want to return some of the money to them? I hope that this is the case. Because a huge number of people suffered from these scam sites.

It's a good thing the FBI took this case, but why doesn't the FBI handle other cases like this? There are a lot of projects that have deceived people, but no one is looking for their leaders.

Well it’s a good move from the fbi, but would victims come out boldly to fill the proposed form ?
Will fbi not charge them as accomplices of fraud ??

It’s a two sided coin at the moment

FBI is not interested in compensations. There were some other investigations by them one of the recent ones was GAW and they put the owner behind bars but they didn't find any money to use for compensations and they aren't going to keep looking. They don't care about the victims only about their conviction rates. If you want money you should go to court.

That's the big problem with financial pyramids, once it become unsustainable it crashes. Though there shouldn't be any excuse for people who try to scam others of their hard earned money, I hope those involved get arrested and prosecuted.

LoL. A centralized system helps to fix the decentralized system. Actually, these kinds of movements mean help for us and fear for scammers.
There is another subject I wonder. They are looking for victims for refund or?

I Think its the biggest scam ponzi scheme in cryptocurrency last 2017 so many of my friends invested in it and until now you can see the that the regret is still there this is a great news for them I hope there is a chance to take back their investment.

I think that at one time almost every user of cryptocurrency knew about this project, I also initiated this project, but I managed to earn, because I invested almost at the beginning, but my friends lost money. I think the developers will not find (

Finally!!!! I've waited for this day for so long Smiley). I think I will share this article to let all people whom invited me to invest in Bitconnect before to see what is going on with this shit. LOL. But I think it's a little bit too long for FBI to do this, maybe they should have done this months ago.

The FBI is looking for investors who suffered from Bitconnect scam and in the link below where the article can be found they have provided a form to be filled out by those who've been victimized. I'm thankful I didn't listen to one friend of mine who recruited me to bitconnect at that time, I've been warned by a closed friend not to engage in any pyramid schemes and those that promise too good to be true interests in their investments daily.

I just curious about the future of carlos matos but we can see how much scammers are running this scam coin, honestly I'm not racist but after seeing the bitconnect ceremony video and it seems like most of them are also Asians. That video can be a good representation to help FBI to reveal these scammers.
