    the real problem is that those stamp coupon whatever things that he was buying did not have a large enough market for him to offload anywhere near enough money to profit from it!
    he was stuck with all of these coupons and no way to actually turn them back into cash
    so he just altogether stopped bothering with it and just kept the cash and then just yeah ..
    used other people's income in cash to pay his previous debts to give the illusion that he's actually increasing people's money and actually making profits!!
    now the term is more generally used to describe any pyramid scheme rip-off
    where someone is paying off old investors with new investors money coming in and ultimately defaults on the last and probably biggest group of investors....

    Reminds me of a game on Roblox, called adopt me. It's very popular with scammers these days. So there's this scam that involves 2 scammers and 1 if not 10 victims, and then scammer1 says he'll double the money or item sent to him, and the victims don't believe him and call him out for scamming, and then scammer2 says let's give it a shot; and gives scammer1 an item or money, and scammer1 pretends to double it for scammer2, and scammer2 pretends to be all excited and then goes to pretend to give scammer1 something more valuable, and scammer1 pretends to double it so the victims here think "this must work" and they give scammer1 a valuable item and scammer1 doubles it and then they give scammer1 an even more valuable item then scammer1& scammer2 just leave the game. You can actually find 'how to scam kids' videos on TH-cam about this game alone; it's brutal.
