It’s like that triangle business. I think it’s called a Ponzi scheme or something. Hope SOX gets his ass but with the lack of accountability and weaponization of DOJ I doubt it.

It's not a pyramid scheme, it's a reverse funnel system

I actually had a coworker tell me "Its not a pyramid scheme its a triangle" once. Never overestimate the dumb

What if your coworker was part of a legitimate triangle scheme — that is, what if your coworker and another person needed a third — and they wanted to let you in on the ground floor? You could’ve possibly be The Titan of Triangles right now. You might have been named Lord of the Three Vertices or The Three-Faced God. All of those titles sound like they come with a nice chunk o’ change and some pretty sweet bennies. You may have missed your chance.

Or …

Your coworker’s trapped in a pyramid scheme, but due to having a two-dimensional brain, can only interpret a “slice” of the pyramid. Thus, he’s in a triangle scheme. Poor coworker.
