== Experts Needed == 

 There are several issues addressed in the discussion that could benefit from experts.  Some of these issues are: 

 : 1.  The legality issue.  (We need a lawyer) 
 : 2.  The "bound to collapse" issue.  (We need a business academic)  
 : 3.  The "pyramid" issue discussed below.  We need an archaeologist (just kidding!) 

 The overwhelming tone of the article is that pyramid schemes are "non-sustainable" (which is technically true,  using business jargon) and "bound to collapse."  This may be fact, but the point is not supported or explained at all.  For all practical purposes, a "non-sustainable" business may be sustained throughout the founders' entire lifetimes.  In other words, the exponential nature of these schemes may not be as "non-sustainable" as the jargon suggests.  In order to become a "good" article, it needs to be self-contained enough that readers do not have to research "sustainability" in order to have a neutral POV.   We need experts, so I'm tagging the top of the page.  Please help if you can.  (Also, and completely unrelated, the "8-Ball" section smells strongly of original research).  Happy editing.
