Ponzi's Scheme
Archival Summary & Scope
In the roaring spring and summer of 1920, Charles Ponzi promised investors fabulous wealth, doubling their money in three months. The dapper, charming immigrant built a "rob Peter to pay Paul" scam into a financial empire, raking in over $2 million weekly from his Boston office. This house of cards inevitably crumbled, exposed by the relentless investigative journalism of Richard Grozier’s *Boston Post*. *Ponzi's Scheme* explores this classic American tale of ambition and illusion, chronicling the magnetic scoundrel behind modern history's most successful financial swindle.Categorization Notes
