‘Dark Intelligence 1’ explains how pyramid scheme works

iFilm’s action series ‘Dark Intelligence 1’ explains how pyramid scheme works.

A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent system of making money based on recruiting an ever-increasing number of investors.

The initial promoters recruit investors, who in turn recruit more investors, and so on. The scheme is called a pyramid because at each level, the number of investors increases.
