Опеределения

A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent investment strategy where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from profit earned by the operation of a legitimate business. This model relies on a constant influx of new participants to sustain payouts, ultimately leading to the collapse of the scheme when recruitment slows.
