There was this pyramid scheme that worked really well for a while, but like all pyramid schemes it collapsed.


At the start though there was lots of jingle jangle in the oul triangle. Everyone did well.


The man at the top of the pyramid was paid a share of the income of the man below him and so on down to the base. Every year tougher targets were imposed on the lower down blocks by the men at the apex.


New members joined with reckless abandon.


The pyramid collapsed when the people in the scheme couldn't pay back the money they borrowed to get in the game. It's called banking and who picked up the tab? The last ones in; us.
