I imagine that it is going to be very difficult to continue to get a passive income from a company which has been declared a Ponzi scheme by the state of Texas and been slapped with an operational cease-and-desist order.

I'd definitely suggest that might provide a little bit of a problem, at least for potential investors in the US – and probably for investors worldwide if they are interested in sustainable investments and not Ponzi schemes. I wouldn't presume to speak for them.

This is certainly not the first time that concerns have been raised in the cryptocurrency community about BitConnect and probably won't be the last because of concerns about simple sustainability.

As I have said elsewhere, I am not a lawyer and I don't even play one on Steemit, but it seems to be worthwhile to let any potential investors know about difficulties looming on the horizons – because the alternative might be seen as duplicitous.

(The concern is even fairly mainstream, as the Motley Fool isn't exactly a niche financial news source.
