Jesus fucking Henry Christ, how can people be so wilfully dumb?
Edit: Side question, why the "Henry" in the exclamation?
If you spin the wheel on roulette you have an odds-based chance of winning or losing against The House. If you participate in a Ponzi the only way for you to 'win' is if someone else is fooled into sending their money in.
A Ponzi will ALWAYS collapse in the end because of math. Those who knowingly participate wish to help the operators of the ponzI steal the deposits from the last participants who will all lose money.
And it's the exact same thing with a casino. The bank will ALWAYS win in the end because of the math. Those who knowingly participate wish to help the operators of the casino steal the deposits from the next/previous participants who will always lose money.
The only difference is that ponzi is a brutal way of doing this, but if the people participating in the ponzi actually know and say it's a ponzi, I don't see what is bad at doing so.
Don't claim that all participants know what they are getting involved in either because that is bullshit. There are plenty of people who struggle to understand what these schemes are actually based on.
Which is why I said that people stating their participation to the ponzi while not promoting it shouldn't get punished for it. The ones making claims like "it really pays, so great!!! Come guys best site ever" or whatever are actually trying to convince people to play while not always knowing what they risk so I understand why you tagg them as untrusted users.
