This week, we dig into the rise of BitConnect, the strange kidnapping case that ultimately helped unravel the scheme and an important Texas Securities Commission cease and desist order.
"Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.
BitConnect investors were on top of the world. Their investments were going up, up and up. The BitConnect token was making inroads around the world. It was almost too good to be true.
Or rather, it was too good to be true.
In this first episode of “Crypto Crooks,” we go back to the beginning with Amitoj Singh, a CoinDesk regulatory reporter based in India, to look at the rise of BitConnect. We also tackle some of the crimes surrounding the company, including a vicious kidnapping, and the suspicions regulators quickly brought to BitConnect’s door. It was a glorious beginning … already ripe for a tragic end.

Early in the morning of August 21, 1986, in a valley near Lake Nyos, Cameroon, something horrible happened.
1,746 people were killed, as were over 3,500 cattle and almost every other animal that breathed air.
There were no signs of violence or destruction. Everyone and everything seemed to have simply died.
They were the victims of one of Earth's rarest and most frightening disasters.

What does it mean when a radical understanding of National Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth century's most important philosopher? Martin Heidegger's sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, "to lead the leader." Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heidegger's "Black Notebooks," it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected. His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was mainly that it did not go far enough.
The notebooks show that far from being separated from Nazism, Heidegger's philosophy was suffused with it. In Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology (Yale University Press, 2022), Richard Wolin explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas--and why his legacy remains radically compromised.
