I'm not killing your dream, I'm trying to warn you that you may very well be committing a crime
Some people seem to think that speaking out against known and
suspected scams is somehow killing people's dreams. Ponzis and Pyramids
are scams and they are illegal. The people who have a problem with it
think you should just keep quiet. I will not keep quiet.
I did a search just now for Pryamid sceme indictments. Over a half-million indictments can be found by a Google search.
An indictment is a formal accusation that someone has committed a crime. I'll bet that many of those indicted didn't see anything wrong with getting involved with a suspect biz op either. All they were doing was 'making a little money' and now they have been criminally charged.
If you want to ignore the fact that you are involved with a suspect program be my guest, because all the twisting, selective understanding of the law and justifications in the world are not going to help you if you get dragged before a judge. Those of us who speak out about it care enough for other people to warn them that they may be stepping into a viper's nest.
No we are not killing their dream we are warning them of the very real danger of being arrested, convicted, fined and or jailed. That is what you call living as if you have ethics and morals instead of paying lip service to having ethics and morals.

@Serban The Law is a living thing. It changes constantly;new laws are made and obsolete or unfair laws are removed. The reason we have laws it to protect the citizens of a society. I'm not a believer in legislating 'morality' but we have to define what is criminal and what is not.

@ Cheryl. I must admit, wisdom is the last thing you might be a stranger of!
Yeah, among law, anarchy, ethics and unethics, is a taugh choice to make. We learn ethics, by using laws. If the time-test denies it, we change the law. Otherwise, we keep it. Well, at least, that is the theory...

Yes Roosevelt I do care about this. Having worked with a police dept for 12 years I have seen people who had no intentions of committing crimes arrested because they did something without knowing that they were committing a crime. But at the end of the day not knowing did not save them from arrest and prosecution.
Lives are ruined daily because people unknowingly and/or unintentionally committed a crime and got caught at it. They still ended up paying the price.

@mohann I agree with you the law is not always ethical. But the law is what sets the rules for living in our society and if someone is in danger of breaking the law and we see it and we don't speak up then we share in that guilt . Ethics demands we warn them. If they still want to do it it is on them because we did our part.
@Serban yes there are many things out there that are legal but not right. Until they are made illegal there's not much that can be done about them. But for the thing

I won't enter into the debate between law and ethics because law doesn't go by ethics alone. They just intersect each other and never seem to superimpose. What I stress is that get-rich-quickly syndrome has only accelerated after the internet came to connect people so widely. I don't mind if a person dreams - even daydreams - what I cannot accept is living somebody's dreams without knowing that somebody's intentions. Moreover, one need not have to experience everything when (wise) data exists th

Yeap! Unfortunately, there are millions of sites that are based on a Ponzi scheme (pyramid structure), that feed very well the budget, and hence, they are declared "legal". So, "whistling in the church", might get you nailed up as well, even if you tell the truth. We are allowed to speak only about the Ponzi schemes that are too small to bring $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to the budget... Otherwise, well, the end of the path is obvious!
