Not defending bitconnect at all. But the only thing that's been proven is their incompetence. Until someone gets a hold of their servers/software, there is no proof they were a ponzi/scam. Of course we all know they were, but I think the word "proven" is being thrown around too lightly. I want to see real proof.
