That's nice that you give all these definitions here, good to know, thanks.

But most of them have nothing to do with Bitconnect, as it has not "promised to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk".
If you claim so, you are lying. Have you read their Terms and Conditions? I have.

Please show us, where on Bitconnect’s website is promised  "guaranteed" investment opportunity? You can’t, because there are no such claims, and have never been.

So, please deal with FACTS, not just definitions you seem so much wanting to apply on Bitconnect.

Each organization collapses when people stop participating in it.
Bitconnect was very successful. What happened was that a lot of new people entered through Bitconnect into the crypto space.
These newcomers did not consider the risks of investing in crypto, but had desire to quickly solve their financial problems and fulfill dreams.  
They forgot the first investment rule: Do not invest what you cannot afford to lose.

We all know that each adult is responsible for their decisions.  
If some people made wrong decisions due to greed and foolishness, does this mean that Bitconnect is a scam? NO.

The organized massive FUD and hate campaign started when Bitconnect run on the sixth place on the top of Coinmarketcap and passed DASH.  
What’s the reason YOU participate in that campaign?

All in all, I wonder, why you are so eager to make untrue claims on Bitconnect actually?

If you want to spend your time doing something really valuable, then why don’t you deal with REAL scams?
There have been very-very many of them over there, but nobody does talk about them. Why so?
Just wondering.
