What typically triggers the collapse of a Ponzi scheme?

  • The scheme attracts more investors

  • The organizer withdraws and disappears

  • The scheme requires more returnees than recruits

  • Authorities trace and shut down the scheme

Answer

As the answer suggests, Ponzi schemes inherently require an ever-increasing number of new investors to sustain выплаты to existing ones. However, the pool of potential recruits is finite, and once it becomes exhausted, the scheme can no longer generate enough returns to meet its obligations, leading to its inevitable collapse.
