A "Ponzi' scheme is equivalent to a "pyramid scheme, where there is no actual assets, and the investors are paid "interest" with the influx of monies from new investors. once the influx of "New Investors" stops, inturn so does the "interest payments", and with no real investments aka liquidity aka "Hard Assets", the scheme collapses.....I hope this "helps".....while I have your attention, I have some property that you might be interested in...........Mark.
