The reason I posted on this thread was that people like you kept saying bitconnect 'collapsed' when it is blatantly false. They profited hugely from the lending and were not in any financial troubles. So they didn't 'collapse' in the way most people think and could have carried on fine if it wasn't for all the 'scam' complaints and getting authorities interested. They never scammed anyone before they were forced to close the lending and still paid everyone back their loans early at the 15 day average market price.
Of course the scammers profited, that's the point of the scam. But they didn't pay everyone back. Worthless made-up tokens are worthless. They should have paid back those dollars that they promised - should be easy since they were not in financial trouble? But they didn't. Therefore scam. Authorities tend to be interested in large scams.
