Is it easy to start a pyramid scheme?

No, it is not easy to start a pyramid scheme. In order to do so, one must obtain an existing membership list, find people who are willing to be recruited and convinced them to pay an initial fee for the opportunity. Since most states consider pyramid schemes illegal and there's always the risk of being prosecuted by authorities for running such schemes, it makes setting up a pyramid scheme difficult. Also, in most cases there's not enough money circulating in the middle or bottom tiers of a pyramid scheme which leads to its collapse eventually as fewer people join and fewer money is paid out as payment for joining.

Yes, it is easy to start a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes typically don’t involve any product or service other than enrolling new members, so they are easy to set up and launch. Once the initial recruitment base is in place, the pyramid scheme can continue to expand exponentially due to a lack of enforcement of illegal activity and greed.
