When you look at the $1bil they made last year in funding, and what amount they listed in their IPO paperwork, they certainly look and feel like a ponzi scheme. I hope they are not, but it feels that way. I'm staying as far away from that stock as possible.

This is true only if you make up a new definition of "ponzi scheme."
