Ponzi schemes work precisely because of the high returns provided to early investors:
You must be an ultra retard to think that AM was a ponzi scheme. AM only took money from shareholders on IPO while maintaining a higher percentage of shares for themselves. Afterwards AM didn't need any outside money and they were able to operate independently of the share price. How can it be a ponzi if it's not needing new people to pour money into the company?
Can you be more retard than this?
