The SEC 's inquiries began to infiltrate the system created . The report describes how the inventor of the system, under the nickname of "pirate " and " pirateat40 " announced its business in the virtual platform called Bitcoin Bitcoin - Forum- as profitable as possible in this virtual currency. It required an investment of at least 50 Bitcoins and thus , managed to bite them on the hook 66 investors from states like Connecticut or Hawaii.
Basically, the strategy Shavers is a simple and pure Ponzi scheme . In a fraud also called Ponzi scheme , in honor of Carlo Ponzi , one of the inventors of the pyramidal fraud - interest corresponding to the old investors are paid with the money they invest new customers . This system works while the money they bring new customers is greater than the interest you have to pay the old investors.
Obviously , this is a tort that becomes , as time passes , in a diabolical spiral. Therefore, this type of " fly-by " has always been prohibited and punishable by law , however, there is currently a pyramid scam that it is legal: the Social Security system .
However, the dismantling was done before the failure of the "stall " occurs. Therefore, the SEC 's complaint has more the character of a warning to investors that the discovery of a criminal offense . The amounts transferred not handled in any case , a trading suspension.

  1. From my previous experience its not that easy to get back a lost it stolen bitcoin or funds lost to fake brokers because these scammers are very smart and they will cover their tracks but if you manage to find a trustworthy and reliable Recovery company, I said trustworthy and reliable because many scammers are out there disguising as Recovery agents and will only take your money without recovering your bitcoin, I was a victim of such myself after loosing my bitcoin to an investment scam I sort for help and I met few recovery agents and was scammed by a particular one again. Luckily for me I was referred to a company on telegram. You can send a complaint mail to recoverywealthnow360 on google mail, he should be able to help you. They Recovered my stolen bitcoin after risking a token to their Recovery program. It was worth it at the end.
