Ponzi's Scheme: The True Story of a Financial Legend

Book Description

It was a time when anything seemed possible–instant wealth, glittering fame, fabulous luxury–and for a run of magical weeks in the spring and summer of 1920, Charles Ponzi made it all come true. Promising to double investors’ money in three months, the dapper, charming Ponzi raised the “rob Peter to pay Paul” scam to an art form. At the peak of his success, Ponzi was raking in more than $2 million a week at his office in downtown Boston. Then his house of cards came crashing down–thanks in large part to the relentless investigative reporting of Richard Grozier’s Boston Post. A classic American tale of immigrant life and the dream of success, Ponzi’s Scheme is the amazing story of the magnetic scoundrel who launched the most successful scheme of financial alchemy in modern history.

The Power of Appearance.......2006-10-05

This is a great biography of Charles Ponzi who, as we all know, gave his name to the scheme whereby an investment fund pays profits directly from the pooled receipts rather than utilizing receipts to produce any real income. Banks make their money by taking money from depositors and then renting it out. In Ponzi's day, banking was blissfully simple--pay 3% to depositors and collect 6% from creditors, a simple business model that tantalized Mr. Ponzi who, we learn, was a tremendously gifted individual with a quick wit and charisma who did not lack faith in himself. Ponzi made his money by selling the public on the fact that they would indeed be able to make a profit and then proving sufficiently capable of doing so that the needed new deposits continued to pour in to his fund.

Where this study becomes fascinating is in its exposition of the mindset of Mr. Ponzi who came very, very close to pulling it off. Mr. Zuckoff takes pains to point out that in writing this book he did not interpolate from extant facts and scrupulously notes his sources. Apparently Ponzi was of the type that just can't stomach the hard work of doing things the accepted way; however, ethics are ethics and regardless of his motive--Ponzi did commit fraud because he was not creating income with his depositors money. Yet, Ponzi's fraud was more of a "short cut" as he never really knew exactly what his liabilities were and was on the brink of figuring out a way to use his fund that would have produced profit; as he himself noted, he could have cut and run with the money but instead was trying to figure out a way to invest the funds. In fact, he did bank the money, so if he was guilty of anything it was overselling the returns. Really, Ponzi created a kind of liquid venture capital fund that just didn't ever get around to making investments. He could have pulled off his scheme and the way the book is written you are rooting for him to succeed.

Ponzi's public persona created such confidence that his fund was able to weather repeated attacks by the media. In fact, his strong public image and his ability to sway opinion actually stymied most of the law enforcement agencies whose responsibility it was to ferret out fraud. However, his past criminal record was his undoing. A sharp reporter figured out how to dent the public trust in Ponzi and a bank examiner unafraid to do his job managed to lock up Ponzi's remaining cash thereby forcing a default. In my opinion, but for Ponzi's past transgression, he would have ended up successful. There's a lesson.

The story is simple but the man was complex. His ability to appear completely unruffled in the face of the most dire of situations continually disarmed the media as well as the police, who were so accustomed to looking for signs of guilt that they let the guy go on repeated occasions. Even though you know what is going to happen it is fascinating to watch Ponzi continually evade detection and capture. There is a real lesson to legitimate business people regarding self-confidence and the power of dressing well.

And as a postscript: Anyone stupid enough to think we've progressed as an economy should turn on the TV after 11 PM and see ads for pills that either melt fat or grow a specific body part. Ponzi lives.

A forgotten figure and a slice of history more Americans should know about.......2006-08-17

The great P.T. Barnum once observed "There is a sucker born every minute". Barnum knew human nature all too well. Take a look around you. How many times per day do you encounter those annoying radio ads, TV infomercials or bulk mailings that tout the latest way to get rich quick? It is increasingly hard to avoid them. You hear the stories and see the smiling faces of those who have allegedly made a killing by following some prescribed plan by a huckster with a book or DVD to sell. I suppose that in most cases these schemes are perfectly legal but I always wonder about the morality of most of them. You certainly never hear anything about those unfortunate souls who lose money in these deals. Yet the quest for easy money is really nothing new in America. Throughout our history Americans have sought out and been victimized by these schemes. It seems we never learn. Perhaps the granddaddy of all these many schemes was foisted upon the unsuspecting public by an Italian immigrant named Charles Ponzi. In his colorful 2005 offering "Ponzi's Scheme: The True Story of A Financial Legend" author Mitchell Zuckoff presents a portrait of a man with a plan. It is a fascinating and entertaining read to say the least.
Charles Ponzi was truly a man for his time. With a largely checkered past that he adroitly manages to camouflage Ponzi opened the Securities Exchange Company in Boston in 1920.
His offer was really quite simple and obviously too good to be true. Ponzi promised his customers to return their initial investment plus fifty percent in just 90 days! Now this was just the kind of fantastic deal that would appeal to many folks in the freewheeling decade of the 1920's. Ponzi cleverly positioned himself as a friend to "everyman" and criticized the banking industry for hoarding all of the profits for themselves. But what Ponzi's investors did not know or refused to believe was that the Securities Exchange Company was merely a front for a classic "rob Peter to pay Paul" scheme. This deal really was too good to be true. Nevertheless, tens of thousands would invest their hard earned money with Ponzi and when all was said and done many of them would lose a large percentage of their initial investment. What makes Ponzi such a fascinating charactor to study is that he really was a very charming and likeable fellow. Mitchell Zuckoff does a outstanding job of painting an intimate portrait of the man who would become a household name. Zuckoff also introduces us to the interesting cast of charactors who would have roles to play in the investigation and ultimate conviction of Charles Ponzi.
In a strange sort of way Ponzi would attain the notoriety he set out to achieve. In the late 1950's the Oxford English Dictionary actually added the term "Ponzi scheme" to its listing of words. A "Ponzi scheme" would be defined as "a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a fictive enterprise is fostered by payment of quick returns to first investors from money invested by others." It was really just that simple. As I indicated earlier this is history more Americans should be aware of. I found "Ponzi's Scheme" to be an extremely well written and entertaining book. Highly recommended!!

History of Classic Scheme.......2006-07-05

Mitchell Zuckoff does a fine job of detailing the rise and fall of Charles Ponzi, for whom the notorious pyramid scheme is known. The author details the beginnings of Ponzi in America, his thirst for success, and his continual attempts to rapidly achieve the success which he thinks he deserves. Though less detailed in this book, the continual fleecing of Americans was an accepted tradition in securities trading and business ventures of the day. Therefore, little sympathy could be felt for the speculators who couldn't resist the temptation to get-rich-quick. The book points out Ponzi's vague desire to be legitimate, but his self-promotion and desire to succeed overwhelm any good judgment remaining. Overall, a good read about an historical icon.

An Excellent Biographical History.......2006-05-04

In short, this is the best history book I have read in years. Prof. Zuckoff takes a historical figure whose scheme is well-known but whose life story, until now, is not. The absence of historical literature on Charles Ponzi is remarkable because the man lived a fascinating life.

What is amazing about Ponzi's scheme is the amount of success he enjoyed. Over the course of 6 months, he was able to raise $10 million based on his promises to return 50% on investments. This amount, in 2006, would be quite impressive. But Ponzi did it in 1920, when the average American had little savings, rarely invested in anything, and did not have access to widespread information, like the internet.

Prof. Zuckoff does a great job of capturing the essence of America in 1920. The characters are lively. The writing is crisp. The observations are insightful. If you are remotely interested in American history, this is a must-read.

A Real Life Great Gatsby .......2006-04-16

A Real Life Great Gatsby

Ponzi is described as charismatic character similar to a real life Great Gatsby who has the mindset of an arbitrageur, the wit and character of a movie star, the style and personality of politician but the morals and values of a crook. It's too bad; it always bothers me when I read books about people with such potential that take a turn to the dark side, but I do love a non fiction that tells such a good story that it could almost be a fiction drama.

The book is very enjoyable. It takes us through a, "magical time, when anything felt possible". Ponzi starts his great scam just at the brink of the roaring 20's when prohibition-which started in Jan 1920 was just setting in and the Boston-Irish politics were played out through sometimes underhanded dealings and new inventions and discoveries had everyone excited about the future. All the while Ponzie is opening offices all over the East Coast collecting as much as several million in a single week. It describes Ponzi's Machiavellian outlook that the ends will justify the means and describes his continuous almost delusional optimism.

You may just find yourself rooting for Charles Ponzie to find a way to go legit, while he struggles to invest the $[...] million or so he collects through the issuance of his "Ponzi notes"

great except for the ending.......2005-06-07

This was an exciting CD, except for the end. The CD ended with Ponzi's getting a 5 year sentence. Then what?? According to web sites, he escaped from jail, did some more grifting, and before dying stated:

I had given them the best show that was ever staged in their territory since the landing of the Pilgrims! It was easily worth fifteen million bucks to watch me put the thing over!

Why the CD ended without detailing Ponzi's adventures after his sentence is a mystery. It hurts an otherwise exciting story.

Book Description

In The Facts of Life, Harold Morowitz and James Trefil, two distinguished scientists and science writers, examine what modern biology can contribute to our understanding of the abortion debate. Sensitive to the myriad ethical and religious arguments beyond the realm of science that swirl around abortion, the authors focus on one crucial question--when does a fetus acquire "humanness," that quality that sets us apart from all other living things. While humans are linked via cell structure and cell chemistry with all life on our planet--from monkeys to fruit flys to pumpkins--it is the human brain structure which makes us who we are. Reviewing the latest advances in molecular biology, evolutionary biology, embryology, neurophysiology, and neonatology--fields that all bear on this question--the authors reveal a surprising consensus of scientific opinion; that humanness begins around the twenty-forth week of gestation when connections needed for brain function are finally made. A fascinating inquiry, moving across various scientific disciplines, The Facts of Life makes a valuable contribution to the continuing abortion controversy, and offers a fascinating glimpse of what makes us uniquely human.

If Trefil has the facts, why does he need to distort the truth.......2006-01-26

Trefil's ideology got in the way of his using his common sense.

To make a long story short, Trefil writes that scientists can manipulate eggs, in order to cause them to develop into embryos. Therefore, all eggs are embryos.

There is a BIG difference between a manipulated egg and an unmanipulated egg...just as there is a BIG difference between a fertilized egg and an unfertilized egg.

Trefil says the fact that this manipulation of eggs is possible, implies that pro-life women who shed unfertilized eggs each month should be concerned that they are actually having abortions.

Weird idea? You bet. Don't forget to put on your "thinking cap" when you enter Trefil's world of science fiction.

A really good book.......2004-09-14

This book is a good tool for persons that are going through the hard time of having to make a decision in whether to have an abortion or not....It is also really good for students or profesionals doing in research of this subject...
It gives the reader a complete new point of view in the abortion controversy: The Scientifical One...

Facts the Pro-Life side needs but will ignor.......2001-12-02

Morowitz and Trefil (M&T I shall call them), two teachers at Geo Mason Univ started this short monograph as a friend of the court brief for one of the many abortion cases to reach the Supreme Court, so that the justices might have scientifically accurate and factual information to work with in some of their decisions. When Justice O'Connor made her famous statement to the effect that Roe v. Wade was a decision which was being overtaken by scientific advances in neonatology which were making survival of ever more immature infants possible, she did not have available reliable information of the sort M&T have put forth in this small gem of a book. I have been involved in providing abortion in my Ob/Gyn practice for a very long time and have made a serious and ongoing effort to educate both the public and my medical colleagues about the abortion controversy since 1984. One of the most difficult things for the average layperson, and even for physicians, to get a handle on has been exactly why 24 weeks gestational age of the fetus should make such a difference in the abortion debate. M&T have done everyone except for the militant anti-abortion fundamentalists a tremendous service by bringing together most of the scientific knowledge which bears on fetal development as it pertains to the higher functons of the central nervous system and newborn survival. As they state in the introduction to The Facts of Life, while the two sides in the abortion controversy will never admit to the validity of the conclusions drawn by the other side, we should at least have accurate information upon which to draw those conclusions. Morowitz and Trefil had done us a true service by providing much valuable information. wfh

Science Versus Conservative Christian Assertions.......1999-05-09

I see that a conservative Christian discovered the book, or this reference to it, and was afraid of what they encountered. Unfortunately for him, or her, this book is valuable precisely because it reveals the gaping fallacies in the antiabortion argument, and how its so-called "natural law" theory falls afoul of empirical verification of embryological development, which they always selectively cite. Pro-choice readers, buy this book!! I

a scientific attempt to distort the quality of life.......1999-05-03

In brief, the following book tends back the pro-choice movement with cheap opinionated evidence of science. It attempts to supersede Gods law, and replace it with mans law. Additionally, the book conveys a grave an immoral message to its readers.Contrary to natural law, it states that by petty scientific proof, society can determine whether a fetus is human or not. Obviously, this book chooses to disregard Gods message-"It is immoral to produce HUMAN embyros intended for exploitation as disposable biological material". Not only is it futile to misinterpet the above, but it is simply a crime for pro-murderous writers to generate wimpy, relitivistic propoganda intended to distort the human race.

Book Description

The Red Roots of Terrorism describes the persistence of terrorism through the ages and gives examples of the use of this tactic to further many different kinds of philosophies.

The author contends that persons capable of participating in terrorist acts exist in all ethnic groups and in most, if not all, political aggregations. Many different causes and groups provide congenial homes for such people, and afford them guidance and protection.

Many examples of terrorist acts within the US and throughout the world are given, and the inadequate steps which have been taken to punish past actions and forestall future events are described.

The author suggests that strong measures are needed to prevent congenital terrorists from harming innocent victims, and provides suggestions for remedies.

The book contains a preface, 22 chapters, glossary, bibliography, and index.

Good for Research.......2007-10-17

The way the book is written tends to be irritating because of the prejudicial rhetoric the author uses for communist references. However, I am using the book for a class I am taking and find the details and background that Hartwright includes to be a big help. I would recommend it to people studying terrorism for a look beyond the Muslim Extremist perspective.

Lost American.......2007-01-13

Theories put forth in this book are so far-fetched that it is hard to believe they can be found in print. Conspiracy theory has been taken to its ultimate right wing conclusions, and all those theories linked into one unbelievable piece of propaganda. Of course that makes it entertaining, at times, until you realize that this author is serious about it. There is plenty of logic used here, but you have to accept his evidence at face value to believe. It doesn't work if you have ever read deeply in the subjects he covers. The author is so far removed from society he should be living in a utopian commune, like the Amish, if he really practices what he preaches. But his attempt here to convince the world of his view is fraught with logical inconsistency, incomplete perspectives, and extreme bias.

Academically speaking... pure garbage........2007-01-11

If you are stuck in the Red Scare and looking for self-affirming, right wing, anti-semitic entertainment, this is the book for you.

I was required to purchase this for a post-graduate terrorism course and will be demanding an explanation. The book - which never does define 'terrorism' - is mostly useless, ill-cited name calling, complete with grammatical errors. A quick look at the references in the back reveals what sort of drivel this is.

Nearly one third of the references (96 of 310 in a hasty count) are from the Wall Street Journal. Other news sources include the Chicago Tribune, US News & World Report, The New Yorker, and Parade Magazine (!). WSJ is a perfectly good newspaper and these sources are fine for news or for the occasional factual citation (better to cite the source, like AP or Reuters), but to base any book that purports to be remotely academic on news sources like this is weak at best. The reason for this is that these sources are focused on printing daily or weekly news, corroborated or not, and are NOT subject to any sort of expert review like an academic journal is. Not only that, but plenty of the articles are from the Op-Ed page, including LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Some of the articles from scientific sources may be legitimate, and plenty of books are cited (though plenty of text remains wanting for citation). However, there is nothing from ANY terrorism journal (of which there are several well-respected journals in fields of terrorism studies, counterterrorism, and security), post-communist studies journal, or social science journal, conservative or otherwise. There is also probably not much by anyone you have ever heard of, if you happen to study terrorism or communism.

While www.jeffsarchive.com (also cited) is no longer available, the author Ian McKinney (cited) can still be found at www.theunjustmedia.com alongside other winners who promote ideas like "Timothy McVeigh may have unknowningly been an Army/CIA guinea pig involved in a classified telemetric/mind-control project," in compelling articles like "Brain Zapping - Electronic Mind Control - Part One."

Hmm... vaguely reminiscent of a technique I used in Jr. High to gain credibility in research papers: cite a lot of stuff, no matter where it came from. (Citing newspapers was ok back then, but by undergrad I would have gotten blasted if my bibliography looked ANYTHING like this. And I attended a military academy, not exactly a liberal university haven that Hartwright would probably deem full of godless pinko fags).

Additionally, what information is available on the publisher should put the academic value of the book into question. Cui Bono Books, after cursory internet research, appears to be a side project of Pan-Tech International, which publishes reference books on baking technology. Cui Bono only has a handful of tomes: those by Hartwright and those written under a pseudonym (F.X. Foulke-ffeinberg) on biblical topics and the virtual campus (also cited in Red Roots of Terrorism, incidentally). Hartwright's other 2 books are on the JFK assassination (has a nice Amazon review) and on the Vincent Foster death.

All evidence points to this book being academically worthless, and Cui Bono books being a recreational endeavor by Hartwright, who would do us all a service by sticking to baking technology studies.

For some excellent books on actual terrorism, try these:
Root Causes of Terrorism, by Tore Bjorgo (ed)
Inside Terrorism, by Bruce Hoffman
Seeds of Terror, by Maria Ressa (southeast Asia focus)
Al Qaeda, by Jason Burke (Al Qaeda focus)

Genral Review of The Red Roots of Terrorism.......2007-01-10

Definently written from a conservative perspective, Hartwright focuses on communism, and more specifically the governmental influences within this societal structure that perpetuate terrorism and their attempts in further inoculate the free world's beuracracies (i.e. academia, politics, and the church). Inarguably written from a more conservative perspective, this is one of those books that tries to push the reader into the extreme, in hopes of at least swaying the reader to acknowledge the continued ills of communism that continue to lurk within America.

The other review.......2006-09-27

The other review says: ".......but to smear an entire religion and group with the oldest and vilest of stereotypes and characterizations is outrageous." Quite right, but other than that, there are some very interesting and useful facts in this book.

The remarks taken as bigoted should just be ignored (and simply the best taken from the book), in the spirit that Christians are similarly expected to do regarding the Talmud - in which Jesus is described as illegitimate and Mary (his Mother) as a Prostitute - that can also be described as outrageous (the Encyclopaedia Judaica describes the Talmud as defaming Jesus).

Book Description

The underlying theme of this book is that a widespread, taxonomically diverse group of animals, important both from ecological and human resource perspectives, remains poorly understood and in delcine, while receiving scant attention from the ecological and conservation community. This volume proposes a comprehensive overview of the world's river turtles' ecology, conservation, and management. It begins with a categorization of taxa which inhabit flowing water habitats followed by information on their evolutionary and physical diversity and biogeography. Within the framework of ecology, the authors discuss the composition of river turtle communities in different types of lotic habitats and regions, population dynamics, movements, reproductive characteristics and behavior, predators, and feeding relationships. In a conservation and management section, the authors identify and evaluate the nature and intensity of factors which threaten river turtle survival--almost all of which involve direct human exploitation or indirect effects of human induced habitat alteration and degradation. They then list and evaluate the various schemes which have been proposed or employed to halt declines and restore populations, and make recommendations for future management plans for specific species and regions. In closing, they state their viewpoint concerning future research directions and priorities, and an evaluation of future prospects for survival of the world's river turtle species.

This title does belong on the shelf.......2005-10-10

of every individual with an investment or interest in freshwater turtle biology and conservation. "The Ecology, Exploitation, and Conservation of River Turtles" is a nice extension of the entry on the topic these authors contributed in Michael Klemens' "Turtle Conservation" (Smithsonian, 2000).

The outlay of the book is very functional, the many research references made are well-chosen, and the tone of the text intersperses encouragement for change and hope throughout. It must be noted that exploitation and conservation measures are much more heavily discussed than is ecology, which is even less uniform across the species covered than the former two aspects. Case studies do figure heavily in this book, which makes it somewhat biased towards species considered, but this can only be expected due to the paucity of literature on actual implementations (for direct river turtle exploitation and conservation).

The third chapter alone, which features major river turtle guilds of the world, is worth the purchase price in and of itself. The functional summarization-nature of this book, as with the previous title of paralleled nature noted above, will likely cause it to remain an important volume for decades to come.

One star was subtracted in this review, mostly to get your attention. The "technical" reason is because of the confusion that will potentially be created in lieu of the authors attempting to make the work more accessible. Scientific names and "common" English names are used interchangeably. In most cases, the scientific name is given once in company of the common name, and then the common name is used through the remainder of the book. For a work of this nature that deals with many species foreign and cryptic enough to elude use of common English names (which, in many cases, are so similar from one species to the next as to cause confusion - Mexican mud, Mexican rough-footed mud, Mexican giant musk, etc.), it would have been far simpler for the sake of clarity to have stuck with scientific names throughout, regardless of the dificulty in pronunciations and seeming lack of characterization. That minor, personal opinion-rooted shortcoming aside, the book's delivery mandates its inclusion in the book list of every individual concerned with this topic.

An important new book in herpetological conservation.......2005-03-09

Don Moll and Ed Moll's book has a welcome focus on freshwater turtles-the great majority, after all, of the world's turtle species live in freshwater-and is further focused on those species that inhabit the medium to large rivers where many of the world's most spectacular species and most diverse assemblages are found. Unfortunately, as this book makes all too clear, these species are among those most endangered, both by direct exploitation and by anthropogenic modification of their habitats. As the authors point out, the global decline in river turtle species is just as dire a situation as the much-ballyhooed global decline in amphibians, only in the case of turtles there is less uncertainty about the underlying causes. The brothers Moll bring extensive experience with river-dwelling turtle faunas to their effort. In addition to having both worked many years with turtles in the Midwestern United States, Don Moll has worked with sliders in Costa Rica and narrow-headed softshells in Thailand, while Ed Moll has been most active in his work with various Asian species, in particular the river terrapin, which figures prominently in this book. Some of their experiences form the basis for the "profiles" that begin each chapter, short entertaining vignettes on river turtle assemblages of the past and the present. The book begins with an introduction to the major riverine turtle assemblages of the world, a nice complement to past geographic reference works like John Iverson's 1992 book of range maps, in that turtle biologists now have a source to consult to quickly identify the species that co-occur in any of the major rivers of the world. A short chapter on exploitation of turtle populations in traditional societies is followed by a much lengthier chapter on current trends in exploitation of turtles for meat and other uses. Overexploitation of Asian, South American, and North American species is extensively covered, while information on African species is notably sparser, although perhaps not due to fault of the authors. The next chapter, on indirect threats to river turtles, focuses on alterations to rivers and their catchment basins that cause declines in native fauna, but also includes a short section on the role of exotic species in altering river turtle habitats. The book concludes with a thoughtful analysis of in situ and ex situ conservation techniques that are being applied to river turtles around the world. The authors describe a conservation philosophy that emphasizes the primacy of the former while still finding accessory roles for the latter. Overall, the book is an engaging and thoughtful look at the current conservation status of turtles in medium and large rivers, with much information not readily available in other sources. It is bound to be referenced frequently in coming years by workers in freshwater turtle ecology and conservation.
