I created a smoothie business disguised as a pyramid scheme.
Do you really think it's a good idea to make money from a pyramid scheme?
I never accepted the reasons that people are so against pyramid schemes. I think it works well, so I'm going to do it.
Pyramid schemes are illegal and take advantage of people by playing on their need for money. You shouldn't take advantage of people just so you can make some money. You should be honest and close down this pyramid scheme before you end up in legal trouble.
I'm allowed to do this because I'm not fooling random people, I'm just reaching out to friends and family who is in on this.
That would be tricking your friends and family, who would be upset if they lose money from this scheme. They wouldn't trust you again and may even stop talking to you.
