I remember a good friend of mine in college being called over to a friend's house with his then fiance (now wife) for another Amway subsidiary.

Ain't it funny that the word fiance is only an N of one away from finance ???

To be fair, Amway and the like are multi-level marketing schemes, or pyramid schemes.

A Ponzi scheme is slightly different. What Ponzi did was to get investors for a bogus project and then pay dividends to the first investors with the money taken in from subsequent investors. There was no product or investment, the scheme collapsed he ran out of suckers to invest in his program.
