Bitconnect has not been up a whole year quite yet.  I think it was November 2016 when it started.  Although it is close to a year, BTC has risen so much that we haven't seen a correction so high that it would have hurt a "Ponzi".  I wish the best to you, but there have been so many other sites like this, in the past.  This one just took a good model, and the site operators have not become greedy enough to say "Let's fold up shop because we are (Rich/Going to get caught/in jail/etc)."
