I don't think I conveyed my feelings on the whole Ponzi subject very
well. For the record, I couldn't care less if someone loses their
money! I want everyone with an e-gold account to run a MLM or Ponzi
scheme. I think it's great! More power to everyone!
The only thing I care at all about is people moaning about how "they
were fucked by so and so." I was attempting to make the point that
it's quite hypocritical to on the one hand state:
"I was screwed over by scam XYZ."
when the participent in scam XYZ has no problem at all with the scam
so long as they're one of the people making money.
There's no doubt that Ponzi is like gambling... Just don't whine
about losing. That was my point. I couldn't care less if someone
lost their life savings in a Ponzi scheme or playing craps. It
honestly makes no difference to me! People simply need to take
personal responsibility for their actions.
