Thanks to @bhoa for challenging me to this ... it's good to have reflections on mistakes made in the past for one's benefit and that of other.
Get rich schemes are the worst set of ideas ever convinced

Am glad am done with them for good because they almost messee me up some years back .
Just like every young guy i had the desire to make mad wealth early and so in 2016 when Sergi Marvordi introduced MMM , i saw it as a rear opportunity. I made a litte invest and reaped bountiful. My interest grew as i saw great possibilities. And so when i got approached by a friend to make investment into Icharity platform i got elated . In two weeks i had made double of my investment and started a business with it realising the opportunity. There was a mouthwatering referal bonus attached and so i started taking money from friends and fowarding cash to be used to invest in Icharity.
It's a very long and sad story but things got out of hand and funds were mismanaged. I realized too late that it was all a hoax. Well i had to drain my account balance to aid pay up people's investments through me. It was really a dark time because i was just getting into the clinical class in medical school. The money i was able to raise wasnt enough and so i got a lot of threat messages from persons expecting their cash back.
I was so messed up emotionally and so i made resolutions not to be involved in such again.
This is four years down the line and am proud to have refrained from the temptations of get rich quick schemes.
LESSONS LEARNED
No business operates without risks.... anyone that gives a 100% assurance is surely trying to run a scam
Money made from ponzi schemes go away through ponzi schemes.
The best form of investment is in personal development. That's the only sure assurance of wealth.
Instead of ponzi schemes go into real time businesses, currency trading or stocks. You'll learn a lot of life building lessons.
INVEST SMARTLY
