      ​@@waxcutter9813 Multi-Level Marketing schemes, otherwise referred to as Pyramid Schemes, are different to Ponzi schemes as MLMs/Pyramid schemes often require an investor to spread the news of their investment, otherwise nobody would get anything; Ponzi schemes, as shown, can often be just one person or one group, using your money to pay off loans to others before eventually running away with the money.

      An MLM scam is an example of a Pyramid Scheme, which is slightly different than a Ponzi scheme. Here’s how Wikipedia explains the difference:
      “While often confused with each other, pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes are different.[10] Pyramid schemes are based on network marketing, where each person in the pyramid is tasked with bringing in their own subordinates and in turn profiting from their sales or recruitments. This fails because it essentially requires an infinite number of people to join the company. In a Ponzi scheme, however, participants are promised returns on "investments", supposedly into stocks or goods, but which are actually paid for by new investors, while a central leading figure takes a portion as profit.”

    That's not how a Ponzi Scheme works. A Ponzi Scheme requires multiple people to invest and for each new investor you need even more investors to make payments possible, when you can't get enough investors/miney the Scheme fails. In theory it could go on forever, but in reality it's going to fail sooner or later.
