There are only two effects, either you gain or loss. Not everyone will receive the money in return. The only way is to promise extraordinary returns to new recruits.
The no. of supply of participants is limited and each new level of participants has less chance of recruiting others and a greater chance of losing money.
Always remember that if a plan promises you'll get rich quick with no risk, or doesn't tell you how your money will be invested, you should exercise caution before getting on board.
