But isn't there a law in US that protects oblivious or outright simple-mined
population from falling for these type of "easy money" schemes by
prohibiting these types of business? 
I believe there's something like that in EU (rendering pyramid schemes or
lending money with extreme interests illegal for example).
Although I appreciate that in this particular case the exact formulation
would be rather cumbersome to define.
