CRYPTO CROOKS: BitConnect Episode 2 – Where Is Madeline Bigatton?

This week, we explore the intricate interplay of events that led to BitConnect’s dramatic decline, and the case of the missing woman just left of center of the scheme. "Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis. It takes a lot of concurrent factors to topple an empire – even a fraudulent one. As we continue the sordid tale of BitConnect’s rise and demise, we talk to early skeptic @BCCPonzi about the financial, technical and plain common-sense issues that plagued BitConnect’s premise from the beginning. We also delve into what exactly happened to Madeline Bigatton, the wife of a BitConnect sales bigwig who mysteriously disappeared off the cliffs of Australia.
