PONZI SCHEME

Ponzi schemes are a type of illegal pyramid scheme named for Charles Ponzi, who duped thousands of New England residents into investing in a postage stamp speculation scheme back in the 1920s. Ponzi promised a 40% return in just 90 days compared with 5% for bank savings accounts. Deluged with funds from investors, including a million during one three-hour period in 1921, he bought only $30 worth of the international mail coupons.
