Interesting twist on the “pyramid scheme"

Today in Cali there was a robbery in Ciudad Jardin of the safe from one of those “double your money by tomorrow‿ investment scams. Readers of the article below are all convinced the company carried out the robbery it’s self so it can claim to the investors it has no money. Apart from a few gun shot wounds seems like an efficient twist on the ponzi scheme.
