SoS Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Our motto: "what could possibly go wrong"? In the spirit of offering the highest possible returns to our investors, Hexagram is now selling Ponzi Scheme tickets. In the past, the returns I promised sounded too good to be true. They said, "sounds like a ponzi scheme". I say, "what's wrong with that as long as you get paid"? So, I decided to make a true ponzi scheme with returns that are too good to be found anywhere else. A ticket costs $1 million. You will be paid $1.5 million as soon as the very next ticket is purchased. If your ticket is the last ticket purchased and no tickets are purchased for seven days, you will be paid $1.5 million. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=529 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'd like to buy a ticket. Then I'd like to buy another ticket. And then I'd like to buy another ticket. And then I'd like to buy another ticket. 500k, please! 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [10:47] you used to be the voice of irc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 So if I have 4 million in cash and I just hand it to you, you will IMMEDIATELY hand me 4.5 million? And then later when I buy another three tickets you'll immediately hand me another 4.5 million? Yes? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [10:47] you used to be the voice of irc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoS Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 My details were simple, but clear. Each ticket is paid out when the next ticket is purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutant Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) I'll buy a ticket cause 1mil is chump change. Plus I don't see any disclaimer saying SK is not endorsing you so I'll have a CB if you fail to pay. Cool! Money sent, Ashland buy a ticket so I get paid.

ataraxis Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Ok even this one I can't really see how you could possibly make this work at a profit. #6 in P&W Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 See, if it were an actual pyramid scheme you would pay each person the 1.5m when TWO other people invested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [10:47] you used to be the voice of irc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoS Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Making a profit wasn't the point. I wanted to see everyone refuse to accept An easy, immediate $500k. If it would make a difference then I would pay $1.5 million for every three tickets purchased.Tickets would be paid out in the order they're received from the proceeds of the next two tickets. Paid $1.5 million in 7 days if there's insufficient tickets purchased to pay out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
