RE: The Great Bitconnect Heist - Greedy, witless birdbrained users at Bitconnect overdraw their accounts - August 2017
Wow...I like your integrity. I too would have been tempted to overdraw my account. Everything said and done it is always best to do the right thing, as you said it saves you from guilt, criminal charges, regret and all the bad stuff that follows. By the way I heard bitconnect is back to normal now?
Hi @practicaleric and thanks for your kind words regarding integrity!
Yes, the Bitconnect site is back up (as of yesterday - August 27). Users who don't have overdrawn accounts are allowed to log into their accounts. However, the users who overdrew their accounts are not yet allowed to log back in.
On or about the night (late night) of August 24, 2017 or early morning (very early morning) of August 25, 2017 the Bitconnect site went down. No one was able to log into their account.
At some point during the day of August 25, 2017 Bitconnect issued a statement indicating that their site would reopen in two (2) days on August 27, 2017.
At some point during the day of August 27, 2017 (that was yesterday) the Bitconnect site was back up and many users were able to log back into their accounts and access their funds (including @nandibear!).
However, Bitconnect issued another statement on that same day (yesterday) indicating that users who had somehow previously (in the days leading up to the time that the site went down) withdrawn more money/coins than they really had would not be able to access their accounts for another number of days.
Moreover, when the said users are finally able to access their accounts (in a number of days) they will have a very limited amount of time to repay the missing money/coins.
