What large scale ponzi schemes existed in Eve? The only big money making schemes were casinos and betting sites.

Oh now I understand your question. It’s totally in-game legal to run a ponzi scheme in Eve but no one actually gets prosecuted for it.

“Zzzz Best” was one - http://www.wirm.net/nightfreeze/part1.html

Also, the name of the company was hilarious.

Err, actually, that was the wrong scam. I do remember a different one that had a website investors would go to to see fake “profits” though.
