Overall seems this was scam from first day as it didn't payed out in order and skipped some transactions no matter what amount was big or small. Also even for those who received, some got more than they should and others less. That's not how Ponzi works.
Ponzi.io owner 1HT7xU2Ngenf7D4yocz2SAcnNLW7rK8d4E sent himself only 0.0237 BTC, so he probably played it himself under some other addresses.
It's such a shame that it was scam, rather than being actual Ponzi scheme, it really could grow quite big with such good name, but I guess it was more important for owner to get some quick coins. I doubt that all next ponzi's will be any successful because of this scam. Proper Ponzi (where owner is honest) should only end when there's no more new people and pay in order.
