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.
