@heisenberg what you are describing even now is a ponzi scheme. He paid out from either his own pocket or new investors, to make people re-invest. How did he run out of money if there are a lot of users who paid and got nothing from it? It’s a clear example of how a ponzi scheme works. They sell legitimately to a few, maybe 2-3 people, they gather vouches and then retain payouts for a few weeks. It looks like an actual temporary issue so people continue investing until people start finding out nobody has been getting payouts for weeks, there’s no information about the owner, and the owner takes a random reputable member from the community to post on his behalf (this alone was a red flag, regardless of my understanding that this was a ponzi scheme from the start).
Thats true its like a ponzi scheme for the first time, but ypu know i would never deal with anything like that, i dont need to scam user, i work for my money in my real life and dont have to do something like that. Aureliano was showing me how he makes his money. With invests from user he run for example mutible botting servers in RuneScape and selling the ingame money to big sharks. With the money he also buy high accounts that the amount of botting money is higher than normal. Furthermore these guys deal with ingame items like skins or rare items with 40-65% range. For me it was a good deal, if you look behind the scenes.
