They seem interesting...

Yup, they're interesting all right. Just like many daydreams of found riches can be. \n\nPonzi schemes (named after one of the most brazen practitioners in Boston in the 1920s) depend on the next 'investor' making it possible to pay back earlier investors. There is no underlying business from the operation of which the later investors could be paid what they've been promised. For the investor, the trick is to get involved early, but late enough that sufficient suckers have been reeled in and you can get paid. Investors who miss their timing are suckers. And that's why they are illegal as 'investment vehicles' in the US and most other places. \n\nThe trick for someone starting one of these is to find a way to make it sound plausible and new, yet at the same time complex enough that it won't be immediately recognized by investors and suckers alike -- and investigators too -- as yet another scam. It helps to have set up a way to disappear without a trace when the pyramid begins to show signs of collapse. Always good to set up a patsy to take the fall, too. \n\nBut a pyramid scheme need not be consciously started and run by one or more people. it's possible for a large number of folks to fool themselves into an unsustainable pyramid scheme without much trouble. Consider, for instance, the Tulip Mania in 17th century Amsterdam. Everyone was convinced that tulip bulbs would continue to grow in value, and reports suggest that nearly everyone was involved. When the inevitable end came, the crash was unpleasant, to say the least. There was a similar boom in land values in Tokyo during the 1980s. At its peak, the total land value in Tokyo was, according to some estimates, greater than the entire value of all the land in the United States. The collapse in Japan has not been abrupt, and there are banks who are still trying to regularize their accounts even now, more than a decade after the boom began to end. \n\nThere is no end to the gullibility and culpability of man, it would seem.
