A fraudulent business model, illegal in most places, in which participants are paid to recruit more participants, rather than commissions on sales.
Frequently passed off as Multi-Level Marketing by incorporating sales of an unmarketable product or service into the scheme. In such cases, participants are usually required to maintain a monthly purchase quota to qualify for payments.

Pyramid schemes market to prospective participants while Multi-Level Marketing plans market to prospective consumers. Pyramid schemes fail because scam participants are not a viable market. Most of the participants pay more money to participate than they receive for participating because there aren't enough suckers left to recruit.
Once the suckers figure that out and quit paying into the scheme, those who recruited them start losing money too, and then they quit. The scam shrivels even faster than it grew.

Get the comedy pyramid mug.Pyramid Head (from SH2) is or can be several things:
a.) The embodiment of James' suffering and/or guilt.
b.) The embodiment of James' sexual frustration with his dead wife. This would explain his gestures of dominance over the more feminine creatures of Silent Hill 2 (i.e. 'raping' other monsters)
c.) An executioner of sorts; some believe he is The Red God, Xuchilbara.
-A common theory is that Pyramid Head is Jimmy Stone. Jimmy was the leader of the Valtiel sect of The Order; often he is seen wearing a red, triangular hood during ceremonies. He was called "The Red Devil" by some. This leads many to believe Pyramid Head is Jimmy Stone.
