You are right no one is forced to get lured into a Pyramid scheme.

Problem is when it happens it turns that person into a corrupt sleazeball searching for other victims to pass the buck on.

Trust me i love your precocious angle on it but you are missing the reality of it here.

For example i can right now start an ICO and chances are there would be a lot of investors.
I have been around for ages and seem fairly trust worthy.. that is far more than enough.
Once i have ! god damn fucking MILLION dollars in cash and time goes by and i have started to dip into the money for random items like new houses and fur coats and rings for my girl-friend / wife then i start to wonder hmmm.. maybe i should just tell these Investards at Bitcointalk that "Haxors" got me or some other cliche'd excuse.

AKA: Pulling a Paul Vernon from Cryptsy (pulling a BigVern)

And to be honest i probably would too.. it's too easy.
Especially when you hold a dim view on the useless broken English greedy little morons that show up here desperate for profits.
After a while you prob have lost so much respect for this trash that you figure hey, fuck 'em.

Maybe we can do the "due diligence" dance now ?

Or maybe i can tell you all to research scams and listen to the testimonials from those victimized by them ?
You might see similarities to this bullshit ?
No, YOU WILL !

You late comer's popped up here spouting off about entitlement and minding my own business so you can siphon cash off the bigger greedy fool.

Verbal gymnastics don't keep you out of jail or fool the dreg's that come here either.
All this crap is painfully transparent and obvious.

No one is being fooled by the usual bullshit from the usual suspects with the usual cliche'd defense retorts.
Especially not the IRS, FBI, Police, FiNCEN, SEC, Home Land Security etc.
Cry FUD to them and see how well it works profiteers.  
Feel free to tell them you are "entitled" to money.
..just don't be surprised if they have a dim view on your silly Altcoin rhetoric.
