RISK is regarded part of investment not part of a SCAM
@ Michigan777flyer;
Risk is part of an investment.. when you are SCAMMING or Fraudulently dealing its not called RISK.. is a CRIMINAL ACT..
The message that the money is "invested" is a false one.. a LIE.. and those that 'benefit' from it, get money out of it should be made legally accountable for luring in new people on this false pretense.. but unfortunately they are not.
In my part of the world we know these not as Ponzi schemes but as Pyramid schemes..
