And is it so surprising that the Ponzi scheme collapses when the general economy is having a bad time?

It has more to do with lending rates. The 10 year peaked above 3% and ibonds now yield 9.6%. Ponzi’s are getting a one-two punched. Suckers now have alternatives to seek better returns. Scammers and exploiters now pay to leverage up ponzi run ups.
Fair enough. I just see it all as one interrelated ball of spaghetti economy.
