@DarkEmi @hatshepsut and all others.
Sorry to put you up front with the hard truth, buth...
Rule #1: Don't invest money you cannot afford to lose.
I am pretty sure iam not the first one that tells you this right?

Blame the victim is never a good argument.

Will you say the same to those who will experience a loss once pirateat40 runs?

In general, yes.

BUT, with ponzi schemes this is a bit different. Coz some of the "victims" are more like co-conspirators.

I think you're stretching it a bit.. If you truly want to blame anyone (the concept of blame is stupid anyway since I don't believe we have such a thing as free will) meaning you want to find the cause of the effect then you can't really ignore the actions of the victim. Like with a ponzi even here they must have seen ample red flags and warnings by other skeptics and yet decided to risk their money. And once you are in a risk vs reward scenario and the reward doesn't pan out and instead you experience the risk event you were expecting some of the time I don't see how you don't carry partial blame for losing your money.
