In my experience [*], the path followed is not exactly this one. The
payouts from one HYIP are many times invested again in another HYIP or even
the same HYIP again (to show their 'confidence' in the program).
This would mean that the total value of spends per day per account would be
closer to $25 or $30.

75,000 X $25/day = $1,875,000 = 62,5% of 3 million
75,000 X $30/day = $2,250,000 = 75,0% of 3 million
This sort of makes sense: based on your estimate of 75% of the accounts
being involved with HYIP's, this makes up for 60%-75% of the total velocity.

[*] This experience is mainly from the early days of the e-gold HYIPs, when
sites like DigitalStocks, EMutualFun etc were around. I haven't really been
involved after that, but I doubt patterns have changed.
