It should also be noted, My ponzi wasn't a Scam & was advertised for what it is and went a step further to explain and warn users of exactly how their money was used and what was nessary for them to be paid.
I think the confusion comes from you calling it a Ponzi for marketing purposes, as bass ackwards as that sounds, when it's really not a Ponzi. Anywhere I've seen a Ponzi scheme defined by regulatory agency, it requires fraud. If you're upfront about everything, there's no fraud, and it's not a Ponzi. It's just gambling.
