In the late eighties, a local paper in Florida caught wind of an illegal pyramid scheme and warned people against it.

People began now to avoid each other, frightened that some one would blow the whistle on you, you might be reported. So what had become this wonderful bond bringing so many people together, actually was commercialized.
