Warren, if you want to scare them, use something thats actually true; at least under US security laws (other countries likely have similar legislation), promoting a ponzi scam is not just illegal, it subjects the person
to the same penalties as each of the ponzi's he is promoting.
(b) Prosecution of persons who aid and abet violations
For purposes of any action brought by the Commission under subparagraph (b) or (d) of section 77t of this title, any person that knowingly or recklessly provides substantial assistance to another person in violation of a provision of this subchapter, or of any rule or regulation issued under this subchapter, shall be deemed to be in violation of such provision to the same extent as the person to whom such assistance is provided.

Since everyone here has been made aware that these are almost certainly ponzi scams, if you continue to promote them or shill for them, thats certainly reckless.
Pirate is facing up to 40 years in jail for his bitcoin ponzi scam. Who is willing to join him for a few satoshi?
