Title: How does a ponzi schemer actually make money himself?
Post by: jeffhuys on February 22, 2015, 03:54:34 PM
I'm curious how a redistribution of money can result in profit for the Ponzi schemer. Could someone enlighten me?

Maybe something with investment fees?

Normally, as they are paying dividends, they will get enough investments before the first investor hits ROI. When they can't pay new investors, they run with the money they got.

They charge a fees around 1-5% .Apart from that, by scamming at the end, when a big deposit comes in.

It's simple. They run away when they got enough money. Or they make money from the fee.

If yyou look at the Weekend Ponzi , then you will see transactions where money goes to a 1Fees.... address, and till now they have charged 85 BTC of fees which is crazy.
Apart from that, they have not responded to the accusations of some of the deposits, and that masks thew whole scam.

they earn money from deposits normally they charge 1 - 5% charges on deposit

When users start investing in sites and they start paying still they are getting deposit once user start deposit they will stop paying


by scamming at the end, when a big deposit comes in.

First, a Ponzi schemer recruits people who don't know how to use Google...
