Is it easy to start a pyramid scheme?
<|assistant|>
No, it is not easy to start a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal in most countries and it is difficult to start one because they require participants to recruit other members, which is against anti-Pyramid scheme laws. Pyramid schemes tend to collapse soon after they start, as most participants are likely to be existing members rather than new recruits. Furthermore, many countries have laws in place prohibiting illegal money-making schemes and those engaging in pyramid schemes can face criminal charges. As a result, it is very difficult to start a successful pyramid scheme.
