Christchurch Terrorist Invested and Profited from Crypto Scam Bitconnect
New Zealand has suffered one of its darkest days after a terrorist targeted several Christchurch mosques killing 49 people and seriously wounding 20 others.
The alleged killer, a 28-year-old Australian man who according to reports says his name is Brenton Tarrant, claimed responsibility for the massacre, which he live-streamed as he gunned down Muslim worshippers. Improvised explosive devices were also found in vehicles near the attacks, which the New Zealand military has reportedly disarmed.
Forty-one victims were killed at the Al Noor Mosque, seven died at the Linwood Mosque and another succumbed to their injuries at the hospital.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described the killer as “an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist.” She issued “the strongest possible condemnation of the ideology of the people who did this.”
The person who has committed this violent act has no place here. To those in Christchurch; I encourage you to stay inside and follow the instructions of @nzpolice. The Police Commissioner will be making a public statement at 5pm. I will update everyone again later this evening.

The gunman appears to have published a 74-page manifesto for the attack that is making the rounds online and in which he rambled off inspirations, political and otherwise, leading up to this awful day. After revealing that video game Fortnite taught him how to be a killer, the gunman disclosed that he has dabbled in cryptocurrency, writing:
“I worked for a short time before making some money investing in BitConnect, then used the money from the investment to travel.”
