"La destrucción del medio ambiente podría imaginarse como una especie de Pirámide de Ponzi donde los primeros 'inversores' perciben beneficios y donde los últimos lo pierden todo. Sin embargo, los tipos de interés 'idóneos' no son fáciles de determinar y varían según los casos. No es que debamos valorar el aquí y el ahora, pero como habitantes de una aldea global cuyas acciones pueden tener repercusiones durante mucho tiempo necesitamos una Comisión de Capitales Pasivos Universales que contribuya a la determinación de tipos de interés más racionales, para que no se nos 'ponzifique'..".John Allen Paulos

In the following press release New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo announced the area’s first major house flipping lawsuit against an investment company that used a Ponzi scheme that increased urban blight in Buffalo neighborhoods. The Attorney General’s suit accuses East Coast Capital (ECC), LLC and others of defrauding unknowing investors through an elaborate Ponzi scheme involving over 50 properties throughout Buffalo. In the scheme, high returns are paid to investors with money paid from other investors instead of actual profits from the real estate venture. ECC duped investors by promising high returns if they invested in distressed real estate by providing mortgages that – also unknown to the investors – grossly exceeded the market value. In a Ponzi scheme, an infinite number of investors are needed to provide the high returns to the other investors. Therefore, Ponzi schemes inevitably “implode,” leaving many investors with significant lo
In the following press release MICHAEL J. GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and MARK J. MERSHON, the Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), announced the arrest today of WILSON JAMES BASTON, JR., a/k/a “Wil James,” a/k/a “Will James,” the President and Founder of Will James Equity Partners, Inc., on charges that BASTON defrauded investors of over $16 million.

A marketing/promotional brochure for Will James Equity Partners, Inc., described the enterprise as a “for-profit corporation whose purpose is to identify real estate properties which are un
By Mark NestmannAt least once a week, I receive a call from someone who's invested in a Ponzi Scheme, lost everything they invested, and is now asking for help. Less often, I receive a call from someone who's invested in an arrangement promising fantastically high returns, and wants assistance protecting the proceeds. In the former case, my standard answer is to contact a private investigator, although in most cases, nothing can be done to recover the money. In the latter case, my standard answer is to contact me once the money is in the bank. I have yet to receive a single call back. These experiences led me to investigate the life of Charles Ponzi, and I recently began reading a biography of the famous Boston swindler. Beginning in 1920, Ponzi offered investors in an "international postal coupon scheme" a 50% return on their money in 45 days, or a doubling of their money in 90 days. Within months of unveiling the scheme, investors were lining up to give Ponzi money. But when the Bo
The Security and Exchange Commission defines Ponzi scheme as 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 was flooded with funds from investors, taking in $1 million during one three-hour period. Sadly, most of the people in this scheme were never paid because there were not enough new investors to continue to pay into the Pyramid.The Ponzi scheme works on the “rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul” principle, as money from new investors is used to pay off earlier investors until the whole scheme collapses. Nevertheless, a few decades after Charles Ponzi duped people to buy into his Pyramid, Franklin D. Roosevelt, with the foresight of Nostradamus, decided that this was the right program to help out Grandma. “Great,” he said, “I’ll use this illegal scheme to create Social Security for the elderly. In fact, instead of people voluntarily paying into the sche
Information about ponzi shemes and Charles PonziPonzi shemes are hot and even it’s illegal they always will be hot.if you go to some online forums on how to make money online you will see members posting threads promoting ponzi schemes and even the so called hyips are most of the time a ponzi scheme.No matter what they have told you the creator of a ponzi scheme doesn’t care about your profits. Most people are running ponzi schemes to make some quick bucks from theirself.I’m sure you have already seen high yield investment programmes where they promise you that they are a team of expert traders making five percent daily or even more. And the fact is that some people actually do believe, even the programme has no proven track record, that their money is traded as it should be. If you see some posting on a forum “earn money fast without doing any work” than you could say almost sure he/she must be promoting a ponzi scheme. What exactly is a ponzi schemePonzi shemes or pyram
The below article was posted in the Conquer Your Niche forum by Josh Anderson and I think it deserves more attention. The article is very important and should be read and heeded by IMG.Ws Associates and all new marketers looking to start a business on the Internet or offline for that matter.As in my previous blog articles, this very important point has been made over and over. There is no free ride, there is no miracle money, no easy money, all businesses require work and effort on your part to achieve success. Please read and heed Josh's post below.I notice a lot of fairly new warriors posting questions about things like "randomizers," "investments," and other scams. These "newbies" are looking at these programs and their offerings with serious interest and feeling the temptation that comes when promised easy money. I am going to be strait forward and completely honest:1. When you are getting started online it is hard to hear the legit opportunities because of the multitude of scam
"Unrealistic Expectations" can take many forms and will ultimately lead to business failure. In 1919 Charles Ponzi invited business men and women to invest in his business and promised to double their money. Returns were guaranteed.Charles Ponzi recruited new investors and used their funds to pay earlier investors. Because his funding and payout method were unsustainable, the business eventually collapsed leaving a great number of people with nothing to show for the funds they had committed. Charles Ponzi was imprisoned and from that day, scams that mimicked this approach became known as Ponzi schemes. On the Internet, many of these types of schemes go by the name of Doublers, Triplers, Bubbles, Cyclers, Gifting and other variations. Gifting is not illegal, when done according to legal statutes. It is not a crime to give someone money that you have earned legally. The vast majority of online money schemes fail the legitimacy test and are all basically modified Ponzis or Pyramids
Check out this article by mainstream financial publication The Economist. Even the “normal” news and opinion folks are starting to see what we have been saying for a couple of years - our system is built on a mirage of credit and debt. The obligations are too large to be paid for out of real funds. The scheme cannot last forever. Check it:

Dear reader, today we are going to talk about the danger areas in the moneymaking world. So read carefully, it may save your bank account! THE BEGINNING OF PONZI SCHEMES Carlo Ponzi (1882-1949) emigrated to US from Italy in 1903. He came to Boston with less than $3. He quickly learned to read and write English. During his first decade in US (partially in Canada) he changed numerous jobs. He also perpetrated some small financial frauds and spent quite a few years in jail.Now comes the part that made our (anti) hero famousIn 1918 Ponzi found out about international postal reply coupons (IPRC). The basic idea behind it was to allow the sender to buy stamps in the foreign country for reply mail, instead of requiring the recipient to pay for them. For example, a lawyer could send a document to France for signing, including a coupon that would pay for English stamps to allow the recipient to send it back. The price of these coupons differed in some countries. Ponzi realized that he could p
