A Ponzi scheme works by misleading investors into an investment that promises unusually high returns. Then, as new investors enter, their investment is paid as a return to the investors before them. Because the only money comes from the investments of those who join later, someone will end up not getting any money back.

The scheme is designed to make high profits for the promoter, who will usually vanish with the money after a time. However, the scheme may collapse for lack of money or law enforcement may intervene before this happens.
