People aren't really this stupid are they? As popular as they are here, I seriously need to start a ponzi.

You'd be seriously rich from the commisions, say 1000 BTC get's invested. Say there is a 5% fee than you'd have 50 BTC from a few days/weeks of work. Still illegal though.

It's that last part that really stops me from doing it. I'm not the least bit interested in having the diameter of my asshole quadruple in size.

Even IF it was totally legal I would not do it, only thinking of the fact that you are getting "free" money from people and effectively stealing it too. I can't do such thing, may be the environment where I grew up in, I learned not to betray people or scam them. I'd probably be mentally destroyed after I scammed someone, but that doesn't seem to be the case for a lot of these people.

I used to think that way. Read this thread though. These people deserve to be broke. They gave their money away knowing they would never see it again. Page one of this thread shows everyone was warned of the outcome. I wouldn't pull a Pirate@40 because I'm not real fond of the idea of being ass rammed in prison not because stupid people shouldn't be separated from their money.

Considering your post it would, indeed, make some sense to be a Ponzi runner. I mean, these people "know" they are "donating" money and have a 10% chance they will get it back.
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is...

Yep, and bit-history shows it's been done time and time again. I have to believe that either these people are functionally illiterate so reading the history is not an option for them or they are intellectually incapable of understanding plain language.

From newbies on page one of this thread:
