Feds bust another Ponzi scheme
A Ponzi, or pyramid scheme operator takes money from one investor and rather than investing it gives it to another investor, proving to the latter that s/he is making money. Keeping this operation afloat requires more and more investors putting in larger and larger sums of money. Think Social Security.
When the government does it, it's called a retirement plan, but when a citizen does it, it's a criminal offense.
