Bitcoiin collapses, admins do a runner after $75 million B2G ICO
A week after BehindMLM reported Bitcoiin was continuing to violate a securities fraud cease and desist, the company has collapsed.
Over $75 million is believed to have been invested during Bitcoiin’s ICO, which was scheduled to wrap up on March 30th.
Instead, Bitcoiin’s anonymous admins have pulled the plug early and done a runner with everyone’s money.
Bitcoiin and its B2G altcoin surfaced back in January. Bitcoiin marketed B2G in typical “we’re better than bitcoin” fashion, however the coin itself had no practical purpose beyond soliciting investment from the public.
Some investors had no doubt hoped to recover earlier scam losses, as evidenced by Bitcoiin promoter Don Le funneling victims he’d already stolen from in the collapsed USI-Tech Ponzi scheme.
Le, who claims to be ‘helping others to achieve financial freedom through sharing the love of our Lord and Saviour‘, has since deleted all content on his public Facebook profile.
In a March 26th press-release, Bitcoiin’s anonymous admins advised investors they, along with Brand Ambassador Steve Seagal, will now “exit as the ICO period comes to an end”.
The press-release goes on to detail plans to release B2G as a mineable altcoin, which means little considering B2G is just another pointless altcoin.
Once again gullible investors have been convinced they’re investing in the next bitcoin, only to be exit-scammed and left with a worthless altcoin.
Upon release onto public exchanges, B2G will likely follow the trajectory of other altcoin Ponzi schemes.
A flurry of initial trading will see the value briefly pump, before reality sets in and B2G plummets to $0.
BitConnect is the obvious example of this scam playing out, with $2.4 billion wiped off BCC within ten days of the BitConnect similarly collapsing.
BCC is currently sitting at $1.35, down from a high of almost $400 pre-collapse.
Whereas Bitcoiin victims are now left to come to terms with their losses, Bitcoiin’s admins see the ICO as a “fantastic success”.
Once again we would like to thank all the contributors who made Bitcoiin a fantastic success, and we appreciate the anonymous Founders and our Brand Ambassador for all their support during our ICO period.
Rather than acknowledge their theft of over $75 million from investors, Bitcoiin’s admins maintain media coverage of Bitcoiin is “regurgitate(d) misinformation”.
US regulators targeted Bitcoiin and Steven Seagal earlier this month, following a March 7th securities fraud cease and desist issued by New Jersey.
On March 22nd Tennessee followed up with an investor warning which cited the New Jersey cease and desist.
BehindMLM’s own Bitcoiin review was published on February 1st.
Update 2nd February 2021 – The SEC has filed a lawsuit against Kristijan Krstic in relation to Start Options and Bitcoiin.
The DOJ has also filed a criminal complaint against John DeMarr, one of Krstic’s accomplices.
Wow. They are dropping like flies lately!
I’m so desensitized that I’ve stopped caring about all the victims. It’s never ending.
Oz, if that $75M is correct, and even if they paid out (say) 60%………………. how much more ‘gullible’ money is out there for these ICO/crypto scams?
The figures dwarf what was happening even just two years back before the flavor of the month became…..
AFAIK Bitcoiin only paid referral commissions, the original plan to cash B2G out via an internal exchange has been abandoned.
Ref commissions wouldn’t have been anywhere near 60%, especially once reinvestment is factored in.
As to how big the MLM crypto niche will get or where it ends? I have no idea – I’m just along for the ride like you guys.
Good point on the (potential) re-investment angle. What a ride. Thanks
It must be hard for Steven Seagul to hide though. He cant really disappear with people money. He’ll prolly be jailed/sued/charged.
Part of the crypto ponzi domino effect.
Could you please update Bitcoiin?
What am I updating?
The Ponzi scheme collapsed and your money is gone.
I do keep my eyes open for updates but haven’t seen any with respect to Bitcoiin.
