Confused Ponzi Scam Inquiry

Is the new investment club promotion titled Pathway-2-Prosperity a ponzi scam?
As it is promoted as an off-shore investment club, is it subject to laws and penalties of the US and jurisdiction of the FBI?

P2P is a big scam but Studio-Traffic was the "Grand-Daddy" of them all.
P2P does not come close.

Awww Studio Traffic. Another "program" that ran away with some of my money. But I personally think the "grand daddy" of them all was 12 Dailypro. Just my opionion though.

PIPs was the grand-daddy IMO. Though I do recognize both Studio Traffic and 12 daily pro as similar monsters.

Studio Traffic had over 100,000 members and that's more than pips or 12dp had.
E-profit surf had close to 100,000 members which again is far more then p2p has.
Anyone else here remember Nova Lights?!!!!

Yes, scam or not international investments are subject to international legal agreements, which provide a meaure of protections for investors. If a scam, not being based in the US the scammer may still face penalties from the US if it is deemed that business is being, not invested in, but promoted here. If you simply invest in the US, no penalty, but if the scam leads to the promotion of the business within the US, then it is immediately subject to the US and it's international trade agreements holding the investee responsible for actions conducted here. This means that if a single person in the US brings in a referrer, the business may be investigated and punished within US jurisdictions. Certain US laws do not apply for international businesses based elsewhere, but the US still maintains a measure of jurisdiction that may be applied within any of the major industrialized nations, the guilty being liable through a conclusive investigation conducted by teh FBI.
