I'm afraid things aren't quite so black and white - all or nothing.
In your scenario, there is no room for expenses. Do you think the people who worked for Estrix worked for free? That servers and maintenance cost nothing? And so on... 40% was probably all they could afford, and I'm happy to have recovered at least something.
Most of the HYIPs are scams. Here's a true story:
They set up a site and promise a huge return - say 65% daily. People are cautious at first and they invest sums like $1, $5, $10 at most. Someone puts in $1 and they pay him $2. That someone has thus "doubled his money". Great, huh? After a few days, after people start getting that "hey! it works!" feeling´, they start investing sums like $100, $1,000, even $10,000. The scammers wait a few days and watch the big bucks roll in. At the right moment, they pull out and take all the money. The next day when you try to access the site, all you get is a page saying Fu*k Off. This is a true story like I said.
Now there you have a real scam. They only make a few very small payouts, only enough to serve their purpose. The game is set from day one.
I hardly think Estrix qualifies as a scam in this light. They tried, they worked hard, they paid lots of people. But in the end they failed to make it last. That's it. It happens. Life goes on. I feel Estrix was honest and fair all the way until the bitter end.
To me a scammer is someone who plans everything beforehand and never intends to pay or make the program work. No scammer has ever refunded even 1% of anyone's money.
So: R.I.P. EstrixSurf. No use beating a dead horse. Let's move on to other programs, shall we
