Would you invest in a Ponzi if you were guaranteed a 3x profit?

This is a question I have been asking myself recently, and I would love to hear your thoughts about it. I recently bumped into this project in the Defi world which just smells and sounds like Bitconnect. I almost bought some tokens, just for fun, but then some minor things stopped me in the process.

But, now this is my question and I want to hear your thoughts...

Would you invest in a Ponzi if it gave you massive gains?

Let us say that you heard of a project that definitely sounds like a ponzi, but there is a 1% chance that it isn't. You have a feeling that it has just started and it will for sure survive for a couple of months, which means that your initial investment should be returned with 3x profit (at least).

Would you invest, even though you consider it to be a ponzi, simply because it would give you massive gains, or would you keep a distance, simply because it is shady and most likely a scam/ponzi?

I would love to hear your thoughts!
