According to the article the in-game economy relies on recruiting new investors/players in order to use the new investor/player funds to pay out returns/rewards to current players. How is that not a Ponzi scheme?

This seems like it's somehow both a pyramid scheme and a Ponzi scheme.

AFAIK, there's nothing inherently illegal about pyramid schemes, but they are often marketed in a fraudulent way.
