Do ya remember when that was going on a lot. Think it was in the late 80s. I never did invest in it but went to some of the meeting, you had to invest $500 to start and as the pyramid grew more money would be in it. But at the end when the pyramid was full only the ones on top would get the big pay off. I seen a few of my friends get about $ 15 grand from it. Very illegal I guess. O well hope you know what I am talkin about, when you get to be older your brain has a lot of memories stored in it.

I don't need no stinkin' pyramid money scheme.

I've got a Nigerian Prince about to wire me 300,000,000 big ones! (All I had to do was send him 20k in transfer fees)

I'm curious what you're referring to, since my 401k is through one of their subsidiaries. Sponsorship? Entry fee?
