When I was in Thailand my wife was selling BTC on localbitcoins. One guy mentioned that he wanted about $2k worth so he could put it into Bitconnect. I told her to explain to him that it was a scam and to cancel the order. She did, the guy decided he'd hold off on it.
And completely unrelated, a story came out today about how the Thai navy stopped paying their paid trolls which caused them to come out and tell people about their paid troll program to pressure the navy to pay them. When we were being chased by the navy we had the added bonus of those troll bastards attacking us on social media in the most vile ways possible.
Also, just 2 weeks ago news came out about how their police were torturing someone accused of a crime to get some money out of him, the guy ended up dying with a plastic bag over his head with video released of it and a full description of events by one of the police officers that went rogue. People told me I should just turn myself in (those same trolls kept telling me to turn myself in, that everything would be fine). I was known to have a lot of bitcoin, wanted for "attacking Thailand" (essentially) and they were assuring me I'd be "safe". I definitely would not be alive today had I not fled the country.
