First of all, I'm not here to defend Bitconnect. I've been calling it a Ponzi since I learned about it.
That said, the only thing Bitconnect had to do to comply with the cease and desist orders are shut down their lending operation, which they did. I don't think it is in violation of any laws, anymore, so there is nothing wrong with leaving it on exchanges. From what I've hearing, they are trying to reinvent themselves as Bitconnect X -- whatever that is.
That said, I wouldn't trust these guys with a nickel. I can't believe people have bid it up from their $8 low, and I hear the Bitconnect X ICO is doing well? WTF? They just pulled off a $2.5 Billion con, and now are trying to raise another half a billion through an ICO. Whatever. People are gullible. Reminds of the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."
Whatevery people think about that, somehow bitconnect try to rebrand to another bitcoin but remember bitcoin is bitconnect and ponzi is ponzi and that will never be changed. just such big ponzi scheme.
I hope the dev could be arrested by doin this shame thing in the crypto. The dev has no money caused by all of their moneh already used to be bought lambo.
