Matrix scheme : ウィキペディア英語版 | Matrix scheme
A matrix scheme (also known as a matrix sale or site, and as a hellevator, escavator or ladder scheme) is a business model involving the exchange of money for a certain product with a side bonus of being added to a waiting list for a product of greater value than the amount given.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Matrix Website Scheme stopped by Office of Fair Trading )〕 Matrix schemes are also sometimes considered similar to Ponzi or pyramid schemes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=$150 plasma TV site faces lawsuit )〕 They have been called "unsustainable" by the United Kingdom's Office of Fair Trading.〔 A matrix scheme is also an example of an 'exploding queue' in queueing theory. ==History== The first known matrix scheme is widely believed to be EZExpo.com, which started the popularity of matrix schemes in 2002.〔 By 2003 more than 200 matrix schemes were in operation, including one which had the same owner as the payment processor Stormpay (TymGlobal). Subsequently TymGlobal and Stormpay were accused of running an illegal Ponzi scheme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Leaf Chronicle ) 〕 Stormpay later claimed to be independent of TymGlobal, and they stopped accepting matrix schemes as customers. Although many have since ceased trading, some schemes are still known to be operating worldwide. The payment processor, Stormpay, is no longer trading.
