wow did not expect that, my bad...

I just glanced over and saw all the automated responses and figured it's a joke. I'm actually still not convinced it's not an elaborate joke

Even though it is a functioning ponzi scheme, it could still be classified as a joke. I'd go so far as to say if you don't see humor in it there might be something wrong with you.

Although there is the legal question. I'm not sure it would be so funny to tell it to a judge.
