Be Wary of Ponzis that are popping up all over the gambling section

[lightlord]

An Theoretical attack, would be a given user creating a bunch of socket puppet accounts.
And then developing those account over a few weeks.

Then start up a Ponzi, have all 10 of his accounts on proxies, send small amounts
to make it look like the Ponzi is getting a lot of attention, and looks like its paying.
Waits into some real big depositors get in, and then runs.

Just a thought.


Its just I see a bunch of Ponzies popping up, and its odd that I see a bunch of newbies
just spamming the same thread, which brings in other ppl.

Not accusing they are all scams, but I am just pointing something out.

Just be wary of Ponzi schemes!

Another way that a ponzi owner can scam is by buying into the ponzi with his sockpuppets and always paying them out.  All of his sock puppets get paid over and over and then when it inevitably stops, the marks are the ones losing the money.  That way, the owner can go "well, I payed everyone as best I could and didn't take any money" and then open a new one without people calling him a scammer.

Notice these ppl are all newbies! And how conveniently they just randomly join the gambling section and immediately joins this ponzi game.
It looks like to some ppl the game is active, etc. Really to get ppl that don't observe things like this.

Interesting, so once he done a few rounds, he looks like he can run another ponzi scheme with trust due to his past history. Then when ppl see this, ponzi gets tons of ppl, owner runs away, bang tons of free Bitcoins! At least that's what the owner thinks.

No, I mean obviously unscrupulous people are liable to do anything, but in my scenario the owner never has to run away with the money, because he continuously skims it off the top using his sock puppets.  You can sheer a sheep many times but only skin it once and all that.
