Neighbor A - Investment
Neighbor B - Handout

What if Neighbor A is running a Ponzi scheme? He got $10 from you as an investment. Neighbor B wanted to get in on the investment, but needed cash. You ended up giving him $50 as a handout.. but he turned around and gave that handout to Neighbor A as an investment.

Next step in the Ponzi scheme, Neighbor A gives you $55 back, but since you had invested $10 and Neighbor B had invested $50, Neighbor A skimmed $5 out of it.
