Not everyone pays $1000. If you get your full distribution early, you pay more than $1000 each month, since you're effectively borrowing from those who get their draw later. If you get your draw toward the end, you pay less than $1000, since you're effectively lending money to those who drew early. It is not a pyramid scheme. It is, as I said, effectively like a crude credit union. It is a thousands of years old way of generating debt financing in the East; a grass-roots way to create credit. Just because these girls are involved, that doesn't mean it's stupid or nefarious...
