No he was also giving out referral codes. Which means that he was going to profit out of his scam. Whether he knew if bitconnect was a scam or not does not matter. He referred others and made money from it.

There's a bunch more to it, but they were pretty high up in the bitconnect food chain.

It was: Bitconnect Leadership -> Glenn Arcayo -> Craig Grant -> Trevon James Brown

They weren't just promoters. That said, promoting a ponzi is illegal in the United States.

all these armchair lawyers on youtube thought he was going to jail the first time and literally nothing happened. they just took the mony he made from the scam and let him go. thats literally all they want. money. only poor people go to jail.

>>10542895
That's for a judge to decide.

The question he will ask is: would anyone in his right mind assume bitconnect was NOT a ponzi.

I'm pretty sure everyone, especially people who are not in crypto, would say it was a clear ponzi.

>> No.10543020

he was giving referral codes and making videos to hype it, he was essentially advocating and endorsing the platform and giving financial advice

he will go to prison

I've been following this drama since before it imploded. He's been served, twice subpoenaed, and named as a defendant in roughly 3(?) civil suits, so far.

Recently they made him give up all his bitcoin wallet addresses, and odds are that "hack" that happened to him was all bullshit to avoid paying taxes. He'd still have to pay them, he's just not very smart.

Tons of stuff has happened, just no jail time yet.

Promoting a ponzi is not illegal. Ponzis are not illegal.

Fraud is though, the question is, didn't everyone know Bitconnect was a ponzi. Yes, they did.

No one is going to jail over this because there was no fraud

this is how i see it as well. If you can spoof/layer legally, surely shilling is legal as well? I dont think they will have anything on him and he is a hero in my books as well proving retards and their money are soon parted. I'm rooting for him.

If the SEC in investigating cryptocurrency to determine if it is a scam or not, it seems reasonable to interview people related to scammy crypto ventures as a part of that process. Where is anyone getting anything about going to prison? I didn't think the SEC was part of the judicial.

Trevon is a piece of shit and deserves to go down for what he did, but that being said he didn't do anything differently than tons of other people. I guess he was just dumb enough to attach his own face and identity to his pyramid scheme / exit scam.
