论文摘要
自1800年代中期以来，已经记录了越来越多的人来依靠越来越多的人来依靠越来越多的人来提供荒谬的回报率。庞氏骗局在互联网时代已经在线转移，有些计划被重新命名为HYIP或高收益投资计划。本文着重于理解Hyips的持续存在，并提出了它们在当今世界的存在背后的各种可能原因。研究这些计划据称存在的国家，我们发现所有收集的Hyips声称在英国（英国）中有62.89％的人，另外55.56％的人在英国正式注册为“有限公司”，该公司由英国公司House（英国公司House），英国公司（英国公司）提供了注册公司。我们研究了影响这些方案的其他因素，包括HYIPS的社交媒体平台和支付处理器。 HYIPS的寿命有助于了解投资计划的成功/失败，并有助于指出可以吸引更多投资者的计划。使用COX比例回归分析，我们发现拥有有效的英国地址会显着影响HYIP的寿命。
Ponzi schemes that offer absurdly high rates of return by relying on more and more people paying into the scheme have been documented since at least the mid-1800s. Ponzi schemes have shifted online in the Internet age, and some are re-branded as HYIPs or High Yield Investment Programs. This paper focuses on understanding HYIPs' continuous presence and presents various possible reasons behind their existence in today's world. A look into the countries where these schemes purport to exist, we find that 62.89% of all collected HYIPs claim to be in the United Kingdom (UK), and a further 55.56% are officially registered in the UK as a 'limited company' with a registration number provided by the UK Companies House, a UK agency that registers companies. We investigate other factors influencing these schemes, including the HYIPs' social media platforms and payment processors. The lifetime of the HYIPs helps to understand the success/failure of the investment schemes and helps indicate the schemes that could attract more investors. Using Cox proportional regression analysis, we find that having a valid UK address significantly affects the lifetime of an HYIP.
