You are right. If you do some calculations, such scheme can NEVER sustain too long. It must close at a point when they are no more people joining in. The day comes when they have to pay back every investor every month and less money to collect from new investors, they will run away or strop the scheme. Such schemes work only in the beginning when monies collected from the new members are more than they need to pay the old members.

The profit made from the cafe is definitely not enough to pay back the investors,. It is just a smokescreen for the scheme.

BTW, it is not a matter of legitimate or not in such schemes. All businesses in Malaysia are legal UNTIL they are being stopped. By argueing on the legality of the scheme, the operators will take advantage of it to promote. You know what they have been telling their propects ?

"If this scheme is not legal, how could we get a business license ?"
"You think Sunway Pyramid which is so big and reputable will lease out to an illegal buiusiness ?"
"Some people already notified the SC, if we are illegal, do you think we are still here ?"

So the point is not whether it is legal or not. The point is how long will it last and who will be the victims.

Mobil Wallet, SwissCash, Sunshine Empire and Seaweek venture have all disappeared or have their conditions changed so that they need not pay the investors anymore.

I begin to wonder if you are actually helping him to promote or not. 

I think fyire did a better job.

On the contrary, it serves to educate the public on the pitfalls of this shabby company

how can a thing fall if it didn't fall ? it is kicking harder than before....business in SUnway is getting even better now....operation time starts from 8am - 2am daily.....

i really can't stop you to think this is an investment no matter how you have it...But may i know if it turns out not to be SCAM then will we get some positive supports from out fellow Malaysian that mainly support foreign brands and let out money flow out. So i guess i'll stick here to updates progress and you guys can always support morally even you dun really dine in or buy any packages...BUT PLS. dun just shoot like you already know the future. You dun like the way i talk, i dun even like the way you treat us too. to be matter of facts damaging other ppls goodwill will only get them in trouble i guess better go get a very good lawyer then.

Well, this is where it gets rather messy indeed. Seeing that its not claimed to be any of those, it also means that there is pretty much no regulation on it too. Of which pretty much messes up consumer protection.
