Quote from: commodore64 on August 28, 2012, 10:03 pmWould he really invest the money in his investment scheme in another scheme which paid 1% more than what he was offering?Doesn't make any sense to mepirateat40's Ponzi paid out 7% per week, whereas Vlad1m1r was paying out 6% per month.If he put 100 BTC into pirateat40's Ponzi then in a month he'd get a return of 131.079601 BTC (compounded) and only have to pay out 106 BTC to his investor, making 25.079601 BTC profit for himself.That's just from one investor putting 100 BTC into his "investment program."
