If you agree with the rules without reading them, it's your fault. I don't know about Bitconnect, but he was pretty honest about Genesis Mining, which is similar. He says it takes about a year to break even, which can happen faster if people use your codes. People use his codes, he uses theirs, so in the end they're all pulling each other by the hair from the swamp and only a few manage to get a breather. Trevon is one of them. There's many like him on YouTube who do the exact same thing. While it's a pyramid, it isn't really a scam. People don't factor in fees and mining difficulty, which over time makes it look like you're earning less and less.
