we all know how ponzi work.. this is a gambling game..
1. If it walks like a duck, smells like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then that's no chicken you're eating.
A ponzi is a ponzi, regardless what name you try to slap on it.
For example, I'm typing this out with my left-baring evolutionary digit-equipped non-foot... anyone will know that's just a fancier (and yet more stupid) way of saying "my left hand".
2. Further using that logic of "if it walks like a duck", the timing and vocabulary from your quote can be easily linked to some other Ponzi-defenders.
One of which even shares a part of a name with yours.
Granted, it's the internet and coincidences do occur, so there's some room for "benefit of the doubt", but then again, if it walks like a duck, you know...
3. People get paid with coin from other investers, and apparently not all investers can get their "investment" refunded in time (but maybe in the next chain, hmhm) when there aren't enough "investers".
The only gamble here seems to be how long it takes before a tired horse collapses along the road to a bank, but beyond that, it sure smells like... P,O,N,Z,I, she ain't got no alibi it's ponzi....
