\ number of assault rges were laid by Terr- ace Bay Police following eral unrelated incidents over the past ten days, ac- cording to a report from the Police Office. A Schreiber resident is to be charged under the Criminal Code with unlaw- fully causing bodily harm after a person was injured 4a The Director of the Special Investigations Branch of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police, in a news release, warned that pyra- mid schemes may attract people who want to get rich quick, but it is much more likely players will lose their money and could even find themselves arrested, fined, or jailed. Currently, a pyramid ring called the Pilot Invest- ment Club, or the airplane pyramid, is operating in Ontario. Regardless of the name, all pyramid schemes ire illegal, Superintendent N.C. Craig explained 'in 'he release, sent to the Jews recently. Simple mathematics will emonstrate that most part- 'zipants will be bilked of 'qeir money, he added. Here's how it works: a "yramid consists of 15 peo- le. The person at the top 's called the 'pilot.' The ext level consists of two seople called "co-pilots" 1id the next level is made 9 of four people referred 'as the "crew."' The last yer involves eight people led '*passengers."' To work, the eight pass- engers each give the pilot an amount, called an "in- bestment," that can be as much as $5,000 each. The usual amount of the pyra- mids now operating aver- ages out to $2,200. Once he has his money, the pilot leaves and the pyramid splits into two pyramids, each piloted by aT Steeeerike! Lawrence Speziale of the Heinz 57s team didn't do too well on this particular pitch, but he still had his share of hits later on in the game. The 57s went on to a 3-1 victory over Texaco for the 'A' Division Cham- This pyramid is bad luck the original two co-pilots. Everyone else moves up one row and another eight passengers have to be re- cruited for both of the pyramids. " Theoretically, should no one drop out and all 16 new players pay their "invest- ment"' money, the original co-pilots would receive their money and would leave the scheme. The two pyramids would then split into four pyramids. If each pyramid was to fill and be split each day, the number of new mem- -- bers would double daily until the end of just two weeks, when there would be 262,143 people playing. At the end of the third week, 33,544,431 persons would be needed, and just three days later, a total of 268,435,455 would be in- volved in the scheme. So who wins at the pyra- mid game? According to the OPP release the answer is almost no one. And who loses? Aside from the hust- lers who set up the original pyramids, and those with their names at the top, everyone else will lose. Contrary to what partic- ipants are told at meetings, police undercover officers are attending organization- al sessions currently oper- ating in Ontario. Arrests are being made, the OPP release noted. The Criminal Code pro- vides for a penalty of a maximum of two years im- prisonment and fines are unlimited. Give...
