In every scam, there's a period where everyone feels richer - but only the scammers are *actually* cleaning up. The wealth of the marks is illusory, but the longer the scammer can preserve the illusion, the more real money the marks will pump into the system.

MLMs are particularly ugly, because they target people who are shut out of economic opportunity - women, people of color, working people.
