I’ve added a few more links to articles on how things are progressing with the investigation into autosurfs. I’m withholding my own opinion while waiting to see what the FBI thinks - after all, their opinion is the one that will have the final say on whether not these are nothing more than Ponzi schemes or if they are acceptable business models.

It won’t surprise me to see it take several months for a final answer to come about. There are a lot of details to look into, and quite a number of companies, probably all with slightly different income sources (aside from what members pay in, that is). While I understand one company in particular appears to be the main focus in the media reports, I would be surprised if other companies are not also being checked out.
