[i]"Operators of Ponzi schemes usually entice new investors by offering higher returns than other investments, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. The perpetuation of the high returns requires an ever-increasing flow of money from new investors to sustain the scheme." [/i] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme [/quote]
