Oh please. Seeing greedy people pay for their greed IS pretty funny. The people who are amused at this entirely predictable outcome are the same ones who tried to explain to these geniuses that it was a pyramid scheme, and were then basically ignored while visions of quick money danced in people's heads. Those of us that made money the old-fashioned "get-rich-slow" way aren't about to shed tears for those who tried to take shortcuts.
Greed makes people believe what they want to be true, no matter how many warnings they are given. Anyone who actually thought 10%/month returns were legitimate based on "other people are doing it" or the sage advice of their fellow CC, deserves to lose their money. Either people are too stupid to remember to breathe, or deep down they really knew that it was too good to be true but just hoped it would last long enough for them to make their own pile on the backs of those who followed them. That to me is "repugnant and vile".
Hey, education is expensive sometimes. Be thankful it's only money...
