pyramid scheme

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.

2. An apparel brand founded in 2013 that speaks to the reality detailed above. Cream Scheme encourages hard work, entrepreneurship, and critical thinking as it subverts dominant narratives of what is and what isn't legitimate in terms of careers and professions.

Grand scheme of the universe

The ultimate way of life, events, and all parts of this world and this universe. Many define part of this with their religion, or any religion can use this as just a metaphysical way to describe fate and sequence of events.

Usually used to describe something very small and unimportant and how it relates to "the big picture".

Dude to dude: "I mean really, in the grand scheme of the universe, how much is breaking up with Shannon?"
