Ponzi was a piker. The FRB of NY received $8.4 trillion last year from the auction of Treasury securities---OFF OF THE BOOKS--without any mention in the ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS or to the public ! Its embezzlement ! The Ponzi scheme Fed inflict perpetual indebtedness on society and confiscate the wealth of the people while impelling the nation to national bankruptcy.

it makes me wonder....Ponzi was a very smart person....how is it he did not realize that the scheme could not last forever and just flee the country while he was ahead of the game.

Nice homebrew documentary.

The ads-in-a-free-catalog thing could have worked too; it sounds like the ancestor of shopping/ throwaway magazines. Ponzi had some ideas, as well as drive. Unfortunately, he seems to also have no ethics, conscience or respect for he law.

More info in Donald Dunns book, 'Ponzi'.
