How's that different to what Madoff was doing? You put money in a pot, you get interest from people putting money, until your deposits vanish.

If Madoff would also run an exchange that first converted USD into monopoly tokens and paid out in monopoly tokens that could then be converted back it would be fine?

What if you did it with commodities? Deposit nails, get interest in nails. If the admin steals the nails it's still theft.
