Interesting observations from Oz over on BEHINDMLM (http://behindmlm.com/companies/bitconnect/bitconnect-ponzi-scheme-collapses-2-4-billion-wiped-in-10-days/)


In the wake of BitConnect’s collapse, public trading of BCC points has plummeted to $30 to $40.


BCC points were always worthless but given they can’t be parked for a Ponzi ROI, the trading value between BitConnect investors is now expected to approach $0.


Ten days ago BCC was trading at $431 dollars. Today an adjusted market cap of just $224 million equates to $2.4 billion dollars wiped.


If I had to guess, I’d estimate BitConnect investor losses to run between $500 million and $1.5 billion. $2 billion at a stretch but I’d be surprised.


BitConnect’s website went down four days ago. The company claimed this was due to DDOS attacks, however it is far more likely BitConnect’s anonymous admins instead used this time to secure and transfer out what was left of invested funds.

If she's not a phony, crooked senior like Paul Burks, then it looks like she was turned into an unwitting scammer. Most likely, she ended ripping off other seniors in a similar shaky financial situation, probably friends and family.

Easy Money DP, is that some kind of a double entendre? One more Father of the Year coffee mug, if anyone wants to "pull up" Trevon will take his son to his grandparent's house.

About those terms of service.

A court will never enforce a contract promoting something already against state or federal law https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/unenforceable-contracts-tips-33079.html

This has nothing to do with "crypto", since 1946 promotion of Bitconnect would have been considered illegal since it was an unregistered security under federal law.

What Is a Security?

The Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act have broad definitions of the term "security." Under these Acts, a security includes many familiar investment instruments such as notes, stocks, bonds, and investment contracts.

Whether a certain investment is considered a security is important, because designation as a security means that the investment is subject to certain registration requirements. In general, all securities offered in the U.S. must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), although there are some exceptions. A company offering securities that are not exempt must register them, a process that also involves disclosure of certain information, including:

A description of the company's properties and business purpose
A description of the security being offered
Information about the company's management
Financial statements about the company, certified by independent accountants

Under the Howey Test, a transaction is an investment contract if:

It is an investment of money
There is an expectation of profits from the investment
The investment of money is in a common enterprise
Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party

Substance Over Form

In deciding Howey, the Supreme Court created a test that looks at an investment's substance, rather than its form, as the determining factor for whether it is a security. Even if an investment is not labeled a "stock" or "bond," it may very well be a security under the law, meaning that registration and disclosure requirements apply. After the creation of the Howey Test, some promoters masqueraded securities to try and escape registration requirements (such as by calling an offer of securities an interest in a general partnership). To deal with these charades, courts look at the economic realities behind an investment scheme, rather than at its name or form, to determine whether it is a security.

If an investment opportunity is open to many people, and if investors have little to no control or management of investment money or assets, then that investment is probably a security. If, on the other hand, an investment is made available only to a few close friends or associates, and if these investors have significant influence over how the investment is managed, then it is probably not a security.

If the answer is yes, is the woman in the red one-piece swimsuit out yacht-renting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL1kGoZbsUc) with Craig the same woman?

Looks like it might be a case of "marry scruffy me, Baby and I'll make you rich" ... then she bites and starts spending all those BitConnect referral fees at restaurants ... then Craig Grant sees his expensive pile of BitConnect digital products turn in to the true vapor that they were all along ... then the formerly model-skinny wife is no longer marketable ... hmm, wonder what's next?

HINT: This isn't about "cryptocurrency" guys.

This is about FRAUD whether it's using Bitcoin or US dollars.

The first couple minutes of his video is promoting something called "Zethr" that sounds like a Ponzi to me. The dummies even mention contract investment, is Zethr suddenly registered with the SEC and Grant licensed to sell securities?

Endless-chain recruiting for dummies.

Why just spend money on "it" when everyone is given the easy option to make money from "it". If everyone expects to make money from "it", where does the extra money come from?

MLM Ponzi - No tangible product
MLM - Has product to mask Ponzi.

To hear Grant tell it he lost his marbles in Bitconnect, of course punters have to take that on spec. I mean what else is he going to say?

It continues to strike me ironic that for years on end the same people work so hard promoting and/or chasing "passive income" opportunities. Recruiting so much like a J.O.B. with all these 1% per day deals floating around, who does that? The only people opportunities ever pay off for are the select few sociopaths recruiting massive numbers knowing full well losses are guaranteed.


"How to Spot a Sociopath in 3 Steps" could easily be tilted "How to spot a ponzi pimp in three easy steps".

All Grant has succeeded in doing in his video is to demonstrate his complete lack of knowledge of securities laws.

* Did he promote Bitconnect ???

* Is there proof he did so ???

* Was Bitconnect fraudulent ???

* Did he earn money for referring people to Bitconnect ??

*Was the illegal sale of securities involved ???

Yep, yep, yep, yep and yep

Case closed.

No idea, but, it has been reproduced on multiple sites, so it's not lost
