I have no doubts about your good faith but to put it bluntly the investment is morally very questionable, almost certainly illegal, and likely to result in financial loss for yourself and the project. It would be a shame to see the initiative crash because the funds got stuck in a Ponzi.
Look at how many similar schemes, offering no proof of actual mining, exist right now. This is not going to end well.
I have to second this opinion. Luke, doing *nothing* and losing the funds honorably would easily be preferable over trying to do *any* kind of "multi-level marketing", which is almost certainly going to be a financial loss to you.
The idea of "multi-level marketing" can be explained in a chart. The "0"s represent people buying into it, with the one at the top being the one who started it. Tell me, what does this look like?

If you need money to survive, and you can't find any contracts for well-paying work that you could do alongside EOMA68, then the best thing to do is either:
1. Do whatever you can with the remaining funds to do the closest you can to fulfilling your promises. This may force you to make cuts. For example, perhaps you might have to scrap the laptop design entirely and only deliver cards and micro-desktops, then fund the laptop design separately later. Or, perhaps you will have to just abandon delivering on the printed-for-you laptops, and everyone would have to print the laptops on their own. This is the solution I would prefer; it would be a bummer to not have everything you sought out for, but at least we would have *something*. A starting point. It's better than nothing.
2. Put the project on hold to get a well-paying, actual job and build up enough savings to continue as originally planned at a later date.
3. First do (1), then do (2) when you run out of funds.
Note: You said in a later email that it's just Bitcoin you already had you're "investing" into this, but that's rather splitting hairs. You said you have 0.65 BTC; that's currently worth almost $10,000. That's a *massive* financial loss you're looking at there. If you have no use for the BTC and haven't been touching it, convert it to real currency and put it in your bank. Don't go throwing it at one of these schemes.
