Well it's clearly a ponzi-scheme so no surprise there.
In my early days on crypto-world, I've been a fan of HYIPs (High Yield Investment Platforms) and most of them use this kind of scheme and I'll tell you now, whenever a HYIP is about to close, bad things seems to happen first, DDOS-Attacks, Frequent senseless maintenance, and some other excuses just to pause their services for a while. After a couple of days, Boom, website down, Goodbye to all your investments.
So better not to get involve with such HYIPs in the first place or else, you'll end up losing everything.
