Is it Legal to Run a Ponzi Scheme if You Disclose What You are Doing
We are talking about a New Crypto-Currency Known as Paycoin Exchange Tag is XPY Its Kind of like Bit coin But has its own set of features
So recently there has been alot of hype / Attention to websites that are running scams, I understand that these are usually run from out of the country where there are no laws or jurisdiction to regulate However the amount of money that has been dumped and distributed is Absolutely Disturbing. We are talking over 5 million in 3 weeks Everyone knows one day they will stop and run with the money. The question is only when. These are known Ponzi Scheme's but Reality here most are treating it like a double or nothing bet Rather then a scam. This Validates that people Will Throw Money at a Ponzi Scheme
This gets me thinking. Im from the US there are laws that prevent me from operating such.... But do those same rules Apply if I am transparent and inform Investors Exactly how Payouts are made & They agree to the terms. The Image Below Is a Screenshot Of my description of service to customers which Essentially explains that it is a Ponzi Payouts are dependent on New Deposits.

It’s still a ponzi scheme and it's illegal in the U.S. Doesn’t matter how you dress it up.
