The FBI is looking for victims of Bitconnect scam

[canaveralnonie]

If this is true, all of us will benefit on it. Since the market has a bad image because of scam and fraud projects. This will be a big step to clean up this online market and I will salute and support them.

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?

You hit it in the right spot. It is a knockdown.
First of all, why look for the investors?
What are they trying to achieve or is there another purpose for that?

They could just make any move to try and trace where the suspect came from and not to know where the victims are.

At this kind of case, they might want to be ready in case bitconnect refunds the money?
They want a part of it or some donations? Maybe robbery?

I dont really get much of a reason why know the investors first. I hope this is just a joke. Coz I am laughing now.

I'm also thankful that I listened by those time to the people here. I'm still ignorant by that time to identify what are the kind of scams including bitconnect. There's also a hype that I've seen on social media with bitconnect but I never bought on that because I'm focusing with bitcoin and I don't have time to talk with them.

I just curious about the future of carlos matos but we can see how much scammers are running this scam coin

I'm not very sure with his future and doesn't have any update to him. Is he arrested too? or he's just being used by the scammers and hired him as advertiser?

[ije07]

Are all losses felt by investors compensated? if that is the case then I think Crypto has experienced a lot of progress because it shows that the FBI has arrested the perpetrators and requires them to be responsible
this could be the first step in which scam projects or adverse projects will be totally destroyed

Yes, I, as a new investor, is very frightened to see the level of fraud on the coins lately so much that a crackdown is needed to eradicate them, and if this is true that the FBI will intervene to eradicate fraudsters, I will give great respect to FBI.

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 thought the bitconnect case was finished, but it still exists today but the FBI should act for this case because Bitconnect is the biggest Ponzi program in the world in my opinion, because not only people who already understand in the online world are following Bitconnect, but thousands of people who don't understand they have to lose their money because they are invited by irresponsible people

[Jating]

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.

But isn't it he was arrested since last year already?

Anyways, it's good to hear that finally FBI has taking the lead and do hope that every ounce of those who have been scam should be paid coming from the scammer/s themselves.

And yes, many have called this a scam from the beginning, but I don't get why people still invested on them and then bitch around when they all lost their money. Good thing though is that there might be a chance for them to get their money back and do hope that they won't be a victim again.

[Glorious04]

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.

indeed harsh  . You can't blame them, we can't deny the fact that there are still lots of ignorant people and with this kind of business, don't forget that they are very persuasive and full of promises. They will promise the moon and stars just to get clients.

[martina14]

Why they are looking for the victims? will the victims can still get their money?
I have so many friends who joined this scam project, they also want me to join them but i said no as i dont trust the system.
This project looks really fishy for me, thank god!

Well, news like this are causing fear to new investors but in one hand it gives us warning as well and reminder to be careful what and who to trust to. I also wish that the FBI will indeed solve this case so those who are planning and even at the moment are doing the scamming will be alerted and be exposed too.

The problem is that hardly anyone will ever get to see their money again. The guys behind Bitconnect are probably broke and can't pay anyone.

They are unknown, police has been arresting promoters. Promoters can't give money back.
I don't think whoever was behind bitconnect will ever be captured and they have earn too much money and run away.
Fbi has to search for everyone involved, person or people behind this scam could be one of these people on this ceremony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCcwn6bGUtU

[Ains_sama]

this is great if the FBI is looking for victims of fraudulent investments, and I will tell my friends about this so they can fill out the forms that are needed.

[qtronix]

It is good that the state authorities are trying to fight fraud and protect the rights of investors. I am also very glad that I did not take part in this project.

[apitico]

I hope that these scammers will find and give them a good time to other scammers looked at this situation and therefore would think twice before trying to fool someone.

[Quintrix]

This is to stop from developers into launching another Bitconnectcoin like projects again and we really need regulation for a project like this, this is a big lesson for all of us here and could be the end of ponzi like coin in the market.

It really is the end for a similar project Bitconnect is the last ponzi like coin that will exist because that's what's going to happen if any developer will try to launch a similar coin in the market and besides we have a group of scam buster here in our forum.

[Mmesooma1]

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.

This is a welcomed improvement to me. They should be flushed out and jailed. Yes, cryptocurrencies should be decentralized but it shouldn't be a haven for criminals and all sorts of bandits.

[Svelto]

It is good to hear that FBI is doing something about the bitconnect scam. The scammers should be punished and this serve a warning to other people who want to organise such scam.

Why they are looking for the victims? will the victims can still get their money?

Obviously, they're looking for the victims to that the FBI can have a solid evidence against those scammers and they will have a good case to bring them to justice and maybe they can also have the correct figures as to how much money the scammers got and maybe learn big lessons as well.
