Ah, I presume you are writing from a country with a protect-the-investor
litigation system (America perhaps).

Pyramid schemes are far from universally illegal, as witness the current
turmoil in Albania, where investors in legal pyramid schemes have lost
their savings and demand the government reimburse them...

Since the Internet is international, and not subject to the laws of any
one land (despite US attempts to claim otherwise), caution is advised
when making statements such as "X is illegal) (it should at least be
qualified by stating in which jurisdiction you believe it to be
illegal).
