Local media reported that property Mr. Darji was in the United Kingdom, but the main activity was conducted from the tower Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Perhaps there was located the headquarters for Bitconnect. The tallest building in the world could not be better characterize supporters of the famous project, and today recognized as a large-scale Scam. All the promises Bitconnect was ‘huge’: huge profits, huge gains, global conferences and, alas, the biggest drop.

However, as soon as there was a small correction, the whole scheme collapsed. Indian authorities have launched an investigation. Famous personalities and politicians even arrested.

“Dari lived in Dubai, but in India was wanted. The immigration Department warned us when he was on his way from Dubai to Ahmedabad, after which he was arrested tonight. The company Bitconnect appeared in 2016 and remained active until January of this year. The defendant conducted seminars in India and other countries, promising a high percentage of income”
