Things could continue for a while. BitConnect is going to be the decentralized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Madoff case. There won't be any company to shut down and tracking down the creators won't be easy either. Who are going to bite the dust are the potheads like Trevon and Craig.

I also suggest you check out @haejin who does Technical Analysis on crypto. If you take the case to any financial regulatory body the whole explanation on profitability of BitConnect will be juxtaposed with ponzi/pyramid schemes. Trevon and Craig have explained the whole thing like they were reading off of a PSA on ponzi schemes. There are so much documented evidence against them. Instead of some exchange owners, these are the guys who should be in jail.
