Pyramid Schemes of the Rich and Famous

Or, as they like to call it, "Legitimate Business Practices" by Bernard Madoff

How it Works:

Step 1: Gather a group of gullible investors

• Promise them a guaranteed 10% return on investment
• Assure them it's completely legit, totally not a scam

Step 2: Create an Excel Spreadsheet

Just click, click, click, and voila! You've got your pyramid scheme

Unintended Consequences:

• Investors lose their shirts
• Regulators get suspicious
• You end up in prison

But don't worry, it's just a minor setback!
