Ponzi Lottery
It’s no scam, if everyone knows about it

3.5% weekly interest, maximum risk
Scams have a long tradition in Eve Online, they were present in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Bank scams, lottery scams, ISK doubling, PLEX scams and many more, but eventually the usual schemes become boring. So I thought, “Why not make something new?”. And here I am with the “honest” Ponzi scam.

How does it work?
Basically like a „bank“, you transfer any amount of ISK to “Ki Kishinuba” and you will get 3.5% weekly interest and you can withdraw your money at any time. Sometime in the future the bank will disappear and whoever hasn’t withdrawn their money has lost, the others have won.

The crux?
Obvious, look at the name. Everybody knows that it will happen, but no one knows when.

What can you get?
High profits and maximal risk.

This has been done several times before. Still, it might be a novelty for some and similar 'offerings' have generated some fun in the past.

There are two types of EVE player:

those who believe there are two types of EVE player and those who do not.

Yes Ponzi schemes are nothing new in EvE, but has anyone ever made a lottery out of it?

Yes
