Sounds like a pyramid scheme. It is amazing how people can be so stupid. The size of these scams is also amazing.

What the article leaves out is that this guy was only caught because the FBI noticed the very large amount of money ($45 million) he had taken over to the US in preparation for his getaway. The FBI suspected money laundering, investigated him, and reported him to the Japanese authorities who only then noticed and questioned him. Kuroiwa panicked and tried to hastily run off to the Philippines using a really bad fake passport (his photo pasted onto an acquaintance's passport). He was detained by Philippines immigration and then finally the Japanese police. The TV news covered all of this so I'm surprised the article is so spare on details...
