FBI Solicits Information From Bitconnect Investors With Voluntary Questionnaire






The questionnaire requires the respondent to provide information such as how they first heard of Bitconnect, how much they invested and their access username.

As Cointelegraph reported, Bitconnect gained an almost mythical status among the plethora of initial coin offerings (ICO) which operated until the market crashed last year. Organizers’ lavish publicity events included bizarre entertainment for attendees, most notable of which were appearances by spokesperson Carlos Matos that subsequently went viral.

At its peak, BCC had a market cap of $2.5 billion, but the coin no longer trades or lists on exchanges. In January, Australian authorities imposed a travel ban on a one-time promoter of Bitconnect.
