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.
