Component body

The Ponzi module promises to increase the number of comments a node has by investing some of them now now and returning twice as many later. However, instead of the return being made up of new comments, they are actually taken from other nodes who just recently invested their own comments.

This will eventually fall apart as there won't be enough comments to go around and the Ponzi module doesn't have any comments of its own to chip in.

Drupal's watchdog will likely catch on to this sooner or later but it will be too late and some nodes will be left without a single comment.

Depends on Honey Badger.
