Anyone remember the character a few years back that ran a huge scam promising like 30% return on your money if you sent it to him? I can't remember the dudes name, but after like 200M (which was a lot then) was sent to him his char was erased. I wish I could remmeber this dudes name, but I just remember he was the 1st to do that scam..
Ah... memories.

Morbor, yes. And it was far, FAR more than 200 million. It was more like 20 billion or something.
Ponzi schemes work fine for a short time (a lot of people actually got the promised returns from Morbor) but they do not, and mathematically CANNOT, work in the long run (those people kept reinvesting more money, and when it eventually went arse up, they lost more than they'd ever gained).

I believe the name was "Morbo"... and yeah, I remember him, and know who he is... most people will find it difficult to forget him I recon...
