In the meantime, Control Finance took the money and ran. Even my linked video by a frustrated 'investor' was removed, as he was starting to feel not only frustrated, but also embarrassed, I assume.

I just ran into yet another one of those scams:

They call their currency BTCGold (not to be confused with bgold, which is how I stumbled upon this Ponzi). Apart from the name, it looks like a carbon copy of Bitconnect.
