I think USA government made the right move. I know ponzi is prohibited on this forum, I don't understand how they allow bitconnect thread here...
The USA govt did nothing and BitConnect is not a ponzi.
Texas is just one state out of 50 states and does not make law for the entire USA.
(I am an American Citizen and I know what I am talking about).
And if you look up what a "Cease and Desist" letter is, it is not legally binding.... not by itself.
BitConnect is now asking all its customers what state they live in, if a USA customer, and, they have stopped accepting any deposits from anyone from Texas, as requested from the state of Texas govt. If they catch you lying, you will be banned. They can catch you when you try to upgrade your account to "verified" ... you need to show proof of who you are and where you live.
That said, BitConnect needs to start talking to the public, or, whether they a scam or not, their BCC will go down ... a lot.
It's not doing great right now.
