You may choose the easy way out and join the hundreds of people going into well packaged ponzi schemes…
Just incase you are wondering how to join them in sharp practices…
Here are 15 Tips on How to Run a Successful Ponzi Scheme….
1. Start a small scale phantom, unsustainable business.
2. After a while, tell people that you’re expanding into a bigger businesses that guarantee huge profits.
3. Then evolve gradually into a ponzi, sorry, investment scheme; and convince people to invest in the bigger businesses.
4. Hire social media influencers to spread the good news, with colorful pictures.
5. Tell them that when anyone asks an expository question, they should delete it, or block them outrightly.
6. If any Influencer seeks legal advice, gets uncomfortable with your Ponzi, and decides to leave, persuade them to stay by any means possible.
7. If they still leave and ‘go out of line’ to make a due diligence post, ask them to pull it down.
8. When they take it down, still get your lawyer to write them to force them to issue out a statement in favour of you, and make sure you end the letter with “Be Properly Guided”.
9. If instead of cowering in fear, they hire a lawyer to write you back; get a representative to talk to them and drop hints of subtle threats.
10. If that doesn’t scare them, share details of your conversations with them to another Ambassador, a notorious dragger and drama queen, and have them accused of being money hungry and greedy.
11. If that doesn’t work, resort to blackmails, fake the termination of another ambassador and then have them accuse your adversary of betrayal.
It is important to pick someone who is ‘likable’. Have them spin the lies well enough to make the story believable.
Mob action is a veritable tool which always works for scammers.
While at it, sprinkle in some rumour about your adversary working for your rival.
What’s mob action without a good manipulative story of betrayal and hypocrisy? Yes ooh!
12. Distract the public completely from the main issue which is, the legitimacy of your schemes; by convincing them that the person is a w.ì.c.ked, greedy, lying, betraying ‘friend’.
Have them drop hateful comments on their wall. They must be bullied into silence by all means.
13. While the smear campaign is going on, have one or two agents make a public spectacle of begging you to ‘reinstate’ your ambassador. Once they do it, other kindhearted people will follow suit.
Then make a grand announcement of reinstating the one you sacked and have everyone hail you for being kind, righteous and just.
14. Take advantage of the publicity and traffic, and intensively market your ponzi scheme. Public sympathy is good for business.
15. Make more money by robbing Peter to pay Paul until the scheme crashes in a year or two, then disappear.
Las las, it’s still better to remain an ordinary broke contented and ‘despised’ teacher earning meager salary and have peace of mind rather than to remain a promoter of anything that would cause pain and misery to people in the long run, and live with a battered conscience for the rest of your life.”
