Thanks for posting hadn’t heard of this one. Love a good ponzi.

I found the Hamish McLaren ponzi detailed in the podcast “Who the hell is Hamish?” Very interesting.

And the recent doco on Madoff on Netflix was decent.

Never heard of McLaren. Will have to check it out.

I too am fascinated by a Ponzi. Names that come to mind are Vlahos, Stanford, Madoff.

Who else is out there?

While it wasn't exactly the first time anybody did it, meet Charles Ponzi.

In the tale of 1920s Charles Ponzi, it wasn’t just the size of the swindle but the speed with which it was done. Ponzi made an estimated $15 million in eight months by convincing lenders he could make them rich with investments in international postal reply coupons. His story was so infamous that the basics of the pyramid scheme – take money from a new investor to pay back an old one – began to carry his name, despite the fact that he wasn’t the first to do it.

The Vlahos one was nuts. Any semi smart punter could have told you that what he was doing wasn’t feasible, but he kept it so secret I guess there wasn’t enough feedback. But so many got swindled it was amazing.
