Why Ponzi Schemes Are Like Relationships

Breaking down the parallels between Ponzi schemes and toxic love triangles

Ah, Ponzi schemes. Where do we even start? They're like relationships, but with more math and less emotional baggage... or so we thought.

Imagine your significant other, constantly whispering sweet nothings in your ear, promising the world, and making you feel like a king/queen. But little do you know, they're secretly siphoning off your funds and using it to fund their own lavish lifestyle. Sounds familiar, right?

But wait, it gets better! Just like a Ponzi scheme, they'll make you an offer you can't refuse, with promises of "I love you, I love you, but only you have to invest in my 'opportunity'."

And just when you think it's all sunshine and rainbows, they'll "accidentally" forget to return your calls, leaving you wondering if you're just a means to an end. Or in this case, a means to an end... of solvent.

So, the next time someone comes at you with a Ponzi scheme, just remember: it's not love, it's math. And trust us, the math never adds up in their favor.
