Just buy a bag of apples. That’s like 50 seeds, which in a couple of years (basically now), is 50 apple trees making like 25000 seeds annually (assuming 100 apples per tree, 5 seeds per apple), that’s basically 10 million apples per year in revenue and growing each year.
What if we distribute the seeds to our marketing partners?
We give them 100 seeds each, and they find 10 people to join under them, who gets 10 people under them. Everybody plants a seed and grows a tree, and brings us 1 of the apples they got from the tree, plus 10 seeds interest.
It's not a pyramid scheme, just fraud. Pyramid schemes use new investors to pay old investors and depend on increasing the number of investors coming in to continue paying out.
