ExEK, you talk as if the people who were scammed only had access to one side of the argument. They did not. In my personal experience I know of many people who were told it was illegal, that they would be stealing money from people who joined after them and that one day soon the whole scheme would come crashing down around their ears.

Did they listen? Did they hell! They couldn't sign up fast enough. Their greed and disregard for those that they would try to persuade to sign up after them was too great. And for you to try to portray this as 'normal' behaviour and 'not their fault' is disgraceful and demonstrates a total failure to accept responsibility for 'their' greedy and illegal actions. In the eyes of the law, ignorance is no excuse.

Yes, tighter regulations would be good and the criminals do need to be brought to justice. But so do those who so willingly jumped on what they believed to be the gravy train at their colleagues expense and showed no remorse or conscience at the time but now want everyone to consider them as the victim.

It isn't going to happen. No sympathy whatsoever.
