Thanks to all that have posted so far.
Some will say "I'm getting paid" and maybe they are. Here's what needs to be considered. Any pyramid that pays the upline from a joining member is considered a Ponzi scheme.
Sooner or later, as the scheme grows, there will not be enough people joining to pay everyone. Those on the bottom go without earning anything but they paid in on the basis of earning money.
In essence, this is known as 'pyramid implosion'. The money dries up and the owner(s) are the ones that made out like bandits. They shut down because there is too much to pay out and they run.
I will find an article for all to read that discusses this exact thing.
