PN> It is MLM. NOT pyramid.

RS> Fraid so. You cant get around the law just by changing the name. That is
RS> in fact an absolutely classic pyramid scheme. Have a look at this bit,

RH>       If you signed up 5 people for the discount,
RH>       and those 5 signed up another 5 each,
RH>       then that 25 signed up 5 each, and
RH>       that 125 signed up 5 people each,
RH>       you would receive over $700 per month,
RH>       paid directly to your bank account.

RS> Your income is almost completely generated from the pyramid

RS> a Multi Level Marketing scheme.

JH> These schemes always make me laugh becuase they really

JH> simple maths shows what a scam these systems are:

Yeah, and thats precisely why they are made illegal, coz its not
that obvious what the problem with them is to the average droid
in the street. You can be sure its dead obvious to the early people
tho, thats why they are so keen on them like its defenders in here.

True, that the massive gotcha. They work for the early adopters coz
by the time the later ones notice that problem, they have been screwed.

JH> 80% of the number of people involved joined on the last iteration,
JH> and are funding the starters. So for the bulk of people paying

Yeah, a few tiny details like that |-)
