A pyramid scheme is a system of selling goods where commissions are paid to recruit new sellers. The commissions are based on the number of sellers recruited. The right to sell the goods is sold to an increasing number of sellers at lower and lower levels.

No..no...no....it's about investment, not about selling stuff.... the idea being that the more people you can recruit and the more money you can get access to for Stock investment, the better you're chances are of hitting a good stock and making everyone a little money...and pyramid schemes are not illegal in any way....you're not stealing or anything....it's just a bad idea...like saying, "I'm going to invest all my money in Black 32 on the roulette" Anyone who only has a little money to invest in the first place shouldn't use them because speculative investing takes a larger amount of start-up capital.....I only know all this cause I'm an Int'l Bus. Major.....
