I don't think that the act of running a pass-through, by itself, is scamming, as long as the pass-through details and risks were disclosed appropriately.
I disagree. Running a PPT was paying Pirate to make you and your investors the recipients of obviously fraudulent transfers of other people's money. If that's not scamming, what is? But as I've said elsewhere, I'm willing to give PPT operators who aren't on record as saying they knew or suspected it was a Ponzi a free pass this one time. But in the future, I will be holding people to a higher standard.
Been tented to give you a lot of +++++ for that.
But they , at least in the case of bitcoinmax are still running ponzis themselves........if you see the facts, "Running a PPT was paying Pirate to make you and your investors the
recipients of obviously fraudulent transfers of other people's money. If that's not scamming, what is?" am really completly shocked about your itellectual corruptness and
ignorance to make those other people whole again. Intellectual abetter and abider of theft i´d call it.
Of course you can´t see your own prostata to be incontinent this time again
