RE: BitConnect Ponzi Eats up 7% of Mined Bitcoin Daily! Part 7

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Thought this was interesting via google trends. Where are are the World Wide BitConnect Hot spots? Maseru, Lesotho. Aruba, and Lam Dong Vietnam. Screen Shot 2017-11-13 at 8.55.19 AM.png

I believe that the founders or many of the early people are Vietnamese. Vietnamese have a reputation of being willing to scam people. While I have not traveled to Africa Lesotho is a little country in south Africa were Ponzu schemes have proliferated. Aruba seems like a nice tropical island to retire too so maybe that is where they are stashing their ill-gotten wealth. This is all simply my guesses. Sometime after the bitconnect bubble blows up, if someone -who is completely clueless is looking for a good location to start looking; google trends and past searching indicate these would be great locations to start. There could also be server locations, or locations of large number of participants.

Interesting. I believe you or another author pointed out fake website traffic likely paid for to jack up the website rank(ie Alexa). One possibility is that they are also trying to spam Google's Pagerank algorithm to boost its results position(aka a Google bomb). There are many BTC services for this, and Bitconnect has a lot of BTC.

If the spamming service was native to asia that would likely increase the proportion from these countries. Also, the fact that their meetup/conference was held in Thailand further bolsters the case that Bitconnect is headquartered in south Asia.

I checked last 7 days, Kosovo is no. 1. How is that possoble, it is a small country 2m only. I feel sad cause it’s my home country. A lot of lifes are going to be ruined.

Yeah, it is sad. I have done my best to warm people, and a lot of other people have as well, but a lot of people are going to be disappointed.
