Those people who invested in a pyramid scheme and got out successfully before it crashed got lucky. That's all.

The goal of the starter of the pyramid scheme is for those who get paid will re-invest their earnings hoping for the earnings to compound. This will keep the pyramid alive longer.

A pyramid or Ponzi scheme uses money from new investors to pay "dividends" to the existing investors. If you have to recruit new "investors" to make money, it is a pyramid.

What is a Ponzi scheme?

A 'Ponzi scheme' is a scheme in which investors are promised extraordinary returns, but meanwhile these returns are simply paid out from the inflow off new funds from new investors in the scheme. This is much like a pyramid scheme and results in an eventual collapse in which investors lose most -- or all -- of their money.


Is Ponzi scheme a theft?

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.
