This would be a good relief for those people who have lost a lot of money because of this well crafted ponzi schemes.People should be more vigillant with their investments,researching is really needed for them not to get scammed by these projects,i want those people to get the worst penalties in the legal court so that less people will follow their dirty footsteps.

Finally the justice will prevail,all of these people should be given death penalties so that there will be less people that will follow these scammers,they have stolen billions of dollars last year from those big and small investors,i know that these people should be responsible to their actions but a scam will always be a scam,ponzi scheme will find its way to have a good exit just like these people have done.

These people shouldnt be allowed to live anymore,millions of people had been scammed and all of their family's im sure suffered they shouldnt be given any chance to appeal in the legal court,hand them in the public places so that they wont be followed by these people who want to scam a lot of people,billions of dollars were stolen and they should be given atleast a death penalty.

This is what all ponzi system deserve Smiley. The mistake of Bitconnect is they public their real identity. LOL. A lot of other ponzi systems scammed money from investors without being caught cause they keep their identity private or they use fake information Smiley). My suggestion is stay away from ponzi scheme and you'll never having to worry when will it turn to scam Smiley

Finally some action being taken. This was a much needed step as otherwise it would have set a precedent for other scammers to do such a thing again without any fear of law.

This is very good news especially those people who got scammed by this well crafter ponzi scheme from the past that are seeking justice,the damage has been done but if the lawsuit would be successful they can still get what they have invested to,scammers shouldnt be given any chance in our community decentralization is a good thing but some of these people are abusing the privilege of it.

What I don't understand is how they are going to get justice in all of this? Yes the youtubers were doing something wrong, but what about the people who started it? I want them to get caught and as of right now it looks like they are going to get away which is terrible Undecided. I would love to see the founders brought down, justice needs to be served here!

This is the justice that the people need after deceiving by these founders,although most of the people knew the risky they still have joined this ponzi scheme.Founders who had stolen billions of dollars could be imprisoned lifetime if these people have done enough to destory the investor's life,they shoudl be hang to death in the public places to serve as warnings to all the greedy people.

This is great news but also a bit off to me.
The people who need to be brought to justice are the people who developed this rip off scheme and ran off with the money, the people shilling it may have really believed in this coin and just been a bit ignorant, is it fair to charge these people for one of the biggest scams we've seen in crypto? they will do serious time for the amount of money lost if found guilty.

I really don't like the idea of bringing the wrong people to justice just to prove a point..

Am I wrong here? is there evidence that the 2 involved here were part of the project or were the ones who dumped it? If so then let them suffer for their actions, but if not.. this isn't fair.

I would seriously love to see those responsible do time, just would like to see the right people getting done, can some one give me a bit more info on this? I'll spend some time on google while waiting for a reply.


More people were charged, but I don't remember their names. Most of them Youtubers or promoters of some kind.
I can assure you that most of them, if not all of them knew what was going on behind the scenes.


They made millions through the referrals program.



Ohhhhh boy, they thought they could just walk away with millions of ponzi-style accumulated dollars and get away with it, never have they been so wrong.


Justice for all! I'm interested in the outcomes, I will be following this closely.

Good, we need to let everyone know that scamming won't be tolerated.  Hopefully this spurs on more solid legit projects, crypto as a whole can only benefit from that.

Wouldn't surprise me if that clown Carlos Matos is next on the list Grin .



Here is the Class Action Lawsuit .
Mirror link

These individuals/corporations are getting sued:
Code:
BITCONNECT INTERNATIONAL PLC, a foreign corporation;
BITCONNECT LTD., a foreign corporation;
BITCONNECT TRADING LTD., a foreign corporation;
GLENN ARCARO, an individual;
TREVON BROWN a/k/a TREVON JAMES, an individual;
RYAN HILDRETH, an individual;
CRAIG GRANT, an individual;
JOHN DOE NO. 1 a/k/a CRYPTONICK, an individual;
and JOHN DOE NOS. 2-10, individuals;
Defendants.

what could be the point of a lawsuit here? People were investing fully aware that this was most likely a scam in the hope of making a timely exit. It was said that the whole interest was financed by a superior trading bot. That story in itself is weak if you look at the interest rates earned at bitconnect. Then the company registration does not even show a valid address and they did not have a phone number  Roll Eyes. There is a great video on youtube where someone is trying to do a background check on them.

If they are at it they could also ask Suppoman about shilling B3 where a lot of noobs lost their money. Hopefully they did not lose their interest in blockchain as it is the right space to watch.

They are going after the BitConnect and their top promoters.
The case is still under investigation, so I guess we will hear more about it in the news and more people will join the class action.


cool. thanks for the info.

what is the track record with prosecutions for stuff like this in the past? how was malicious intent proven? ponzis seem to be relatively rare outside the third world, but crypto certainly has helped them make a comeback.


That is a good question, honestly I have no idea.
However that lawfirm Silver Miller seems to have settled a few cases in the practice area of Cryptocurrency in the past.
They are currently also involved in COINBASE CLASS ACTION, KRAKEN CLASS ACTION and  Tezos’s ICO fraud.

Not sure if those merits are considered a good proven track record or not...
