(Two HOUR BUS TOUR] Pyramid schemes attract people wh© want to get rich quick but the Ontario Provincial Police Special Investigation Branch warns it is much more. likely players will lose their money and could find themselves arrested, fined and even jailed. Currently, a pyramid ring called the Pilot Investment Club, or the airplane pyramid, is operating in Ontario. Regardless of the name, all pyramid schemes are illegal. Simple mathematics show most particip- ants will be bilked of their money. Here's bow it works: .A pyramid consists of '15 people. The person at .the top is called the • "pilot". The next level consists of two people. called "Co-pilots" and the next level is made up of four people referred to as the "crew". The last layer involved eight 'people called "passengers". To work, the eight passengers each give the pilot an amount, called an "invest- ment", that can be as much as $5,000.00 e•ach. The usual amount of the schemes now operating is $2,200.00. . •Once he has his money, the pilot leaves and the pyraniid• splits into two pyramids each piloted by the original two co-pilot • Everyone else wives up • one row a •d • another eight, passengers are recruited or •each of the pyramids, "Theoretcially, should no e drop out and all 16 new ,players pay their "invest- ment" money, -the original co-pilots would 7 -- receive their money and, would leave the scheme, The two pyramids would be split • into four pyramids. If each pyramid was to fill and be split each day, the number of new members ' wouM double daily until the end of just two weelo when there would be 262,143 people playing, At the end of the third week, 33,544.431 persons would be needed and a mere three days later 268,435,455 would be So who wins ,at the Pyramid. game? According to the Ontario Provincial Police the answer is - almost no one. And, who , loses? Simple mathematics show that aside from the hustlers- who set up the pyramids, and whose names are at the top, everyone • else will lose, - • Contrary to what participants are told at meetings, police undercover officers are attending organizational meetings of the Pilot Investment Club and other pyramid schemes currently operating in Ontario, and arrests are being made. The Criminal Code provides for a penalty of a maximum of 2 years imprisonment and fines are unliinited. .1.0Cali011: TOUR BEGINS IN THE HOLMESVILLE AREA (PLEASE CALL FOR DETAILS], •Cost None, but PRE'REQISTRATION IS REQUIRED by contacting, by August 22nd,' Marvin Smith or Steven Bowers at the Wingham District Office, Ministry of Natural Resources, R.
