The fact that there was no real market but real money was sent and lost and paid out is obviously makes the whole thing very much a Ponzi. The traders really didn't know for sure where their trades were going. The props collectively lied about orders going to the market in order to keep the game going. The game was to collect sign up fees and distribute money from that pool to the winners. It is 100% Ponzi because of that cloak that the props weaved to hide behind. Criminals always do that. Look at the phishing emails. You have won X amount and if you send $, we will send you your winnings. It's all cloaking.
