I think the pyramind scheme here was the exchange itself and not bitcoins. The bitcoins played the currency role in the scheme pretty much like fiat currently plays its role in other pyramid schemes. People were conned of their bitcoins by a pyramid exchange scheme pretty much they are conned of money by similar schemes, though not necessarily exchange oriented. It goes ahead only to prove bitcoins becoming more valuable to the extents of people creating pyramid scheme to con people of it.
