A few days ago, a new "project" has been presented in it’s ANN here on Bitcointalk. It makes no secret of being directly or indirectly related to Bitconnect:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/icobitconnext-earn-up-to-20-monthly-with-bitconnext-investment-platform-4378430https://bitconnext.net/And yes, the project is called Bitconnext (next Bitconnect).
The business model is exactly the same or at least very similar. Like Bitconnect there is an ICO and if the platform starts, Bitconnext promises 12% to 20% profit per month, depending on how much you invest. The profits are generated by trading - according to Bitconnext.
The layout is also very similar to Bitconnect.
Very ridiculous is the following statement on their website:

That's exactly what Bitconnect had promised, and in the end the platform was closed in January 2018.
It’s well-known what happened to BCC, the coin of Bitconnect: BCC is almost worthless now:
https://coinmarketcap.com/de/currencies/bitconnect/Please be warned of an investment in this “company”. The promises are to good to be true and claiming profits by trading was never successful. This story Bitconnect already told and in the end it was not true.
