Bernie Madoff was doing the same ! He was running $50 billion ponzi scheme. And what was the end of the story ?

Bernie is serving a 150 year sentence at a federal prison.

Both of his sons are dead !

His wife is in a mental asylum !

His houses, cars and everything else (including his socks) were sold on public auctions.

His mates and affiliates are killed or imprisoned !

The same will happen to bitconnect creators, affiliates and advertisers, but they do not think about this yet.

Nobody will let you go with such amount of stolen money !

Yes, and according to the german wikipedia the overall financial damage was even 65 billion USD. There were 4800 victims.

Here is the information you seek. It points to known accomplices and how it may all be tied together.
Redditor /u/jam-hay put together an impressive list of revealing information which makes it even more plausible that Bitconnect is a ponzi scheme. It links individuals who have promoted ponzi schemes previously with Bitconnect officially. Submitting this as a separate thread for exposure.

"I think I know who's behind Bitconnect...run with me on this:" - /u/jam-hay

===========================
Rolando Anosa, Bitconnect event promoter
===========================

=========February 2016=========

* Prior to the Bitconnect, **Rolando Anosa is pushing a digital currency called Zewang** (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCzPZVMRGuI)

* Zewang was called out for being a Ponzi scheme(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO7WSHzS43c)

=========March 8, 2016=========

* The very first post on Bitconnect's G+ profile is the announcement of a Bitconnect Seminar in the Philippines, they say that it was **organized by Bitconnect promoter, Rolando Anosa**.(https://imgur.com/a/wd5F7)

=========March 2016=========

* If you Youtube "Rolando Anosa" it takes you to a video in his channel of the Seminar from back in March 2016(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q6xoXn7ZQo)

* He also has another Youtube channel under the name "Rolly Añosa"(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVzJnd3JAyKkt9gmcDY21Yg)

* In this channel he's **heavily pushing MMM, a well known Global Ponzi scheme**, before crypto.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMM_(Ponzi_scheme_company\))

* I don't think this guy is responsible himself, however I do think he's first been a promoter working for MMM and why I think they are all linked.

===========================
Bitconnect posts about MMM
===========================

========= January 2017=========

* Bitconnect has strangely posted about MMM on their blog back in Jan 2017(https://bitconnect.co/bitcoin-news/418/pyramid-scheme-mmm-moving-to-bitcoin-for-security-reasons/)

* Which leads me to think it's a double bluff and in fact they are all one and the same underpinned by MMM the next generation.

===========================
Jonel Javellana, Bitconnect event promoter
===========================

=========October 2017=========

* Here's another: Bitconnect announced that their second Philippines conference was to be **headed up by Jonel Javellana**(https://bitconnect.co/system-news/82/bitconnect-conference-philippines)

* **Go to Jonel Javellana's youtube page and what's he promoting? MMM again**(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChAMsohsJg4-px9hsQmjTQw)

===========================
MMM
===========================

=========Back in October 2015=========

* This isn't MMM's first go at Crypto, have a look at this Bitcointalk thread.(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1211947.0)

* The guy behind them all, Sergey Mavrodi(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Mavrodi) has morphed in to some kind of evil Vitalik Buterin(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitalik_Buterin) over the years.

========= April 2016=========

* MMM pulled the plug on their other crypto based ponzi scheme because they couldn't pay out the interest(https://news.bitcoin.com/mmm-global-cant-sustain-bitcoin-scheme/)

* Bitconnect blog posting about Sergey Mavrodi's ponzi scheme crimes(https://bitconnect.co/bitcoin-news/138/bitcoin-ponzi-scheme-mmm-global-under-investigation-by-hawks/)

* Interestingly, ponzi schemes aren't illegal in Russia

* Bitconnect currently sits at a market cap of $1,537,529,896, I think the current speculative market has created the perfect storm for it.

=========November 2016=========

* Bitconnect is on the go, plugged by MMM Global(http://mmmglobal-bitcoin.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/bisnis-mining-coin-terbaru-bitconnect.html)

* If you have crypto locked away in Bitconnect this is undoubtedly what's going to happen again at some point. Isn't FUD, its just what they do.
