The act of running away with peoples money is not nice, but it sure as hell is interesting to watch people cry about being scammed by (stay with me here..ready ??) a PONZI scheme . Now who would expect something like that to happen.. shocking 
If you are participating in ponzi, in a way that makes you a thief yourself, since the owner operates with other peoples money, and u know that, since its said from start its a ponzi.
