Kubus scheme : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kubus scheme
The Kubus scheme was a Ponzi scheme that originated in South Africa in the 1980s and was subsequently exported to the United States. It remains among the biggest frauds in the history of both countries. ==Origins==
The scheme was initiated by Adriaan Nieuwoudt after his grandmother showed him a milk culture she used as a skin product. He turned the culture into a work-from-home business by selling dried plants that would produce thick milk for R500, which would produce 10 jars of culture a week. In return he paid R10 per envelope or R100 per week for producers who sent him a teaspoon of the culture, making for break-even within five weeks. The dried product sent back by activation kit buyers were ground up, without first being removed from the envelopes in which it was shipped – and resold as new activators.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scams And Other Money-making Schemes )〕 Thousands of people invested a reported R140-million in the scheme before it was declared an illegal lottery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kubus king back with new scheme )〕
