Ha! I had a guy twenty years ago ask me to join their stock scheme. The plot went something like this - someone (at the top I presume) would start a company, sell stock, we (pawns I guess) would buy stock in that company, which would indicate a higher demand meaning increased stock value, and we would by extension all be richer! Zero risk, fool proof, badabing badaboom.
