It's the intervention of justice that did it. Things look already great so far. They become just sublime with what follows, you'll have to admit. Better yet, since you can only keep earning dividends as long as the system expands, it's in your best interests to make other suckers enter the pyramid. From being victim, you become an accomplice.
Every participant becomes a devoted organ of propaganda.
But, alas, this system is illegal. Since the people who are in the pyramid do not earn any money anymore, they ask for the restitution of their capital. Since the dividends are paid thanks to incoming money, in the end everybody has lost some dough. The pyramid is the most important scam of the century. It's according to this blueprint that the stock market has been working for approximately 15 years.
