hen independent filmmaker Billie Mintz discovers he lost his life savings as a victim of a Ponzi Scheme, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Hiring a Private Investigator in the town where the scheme was "allegedly" set up, Billie and his film crew go on a road trip to NY to track down Bradley Eisner, the man who stole over 200 million in one of the biggest Ponzi Schemes in America's history. Juxtaposed against the stories of victims who lost their homes and life savings in Vancouver, The Ponzi Scheme will educate the public about how the biggest scheme in North America works in defrauding people of millions, while entertaining viewers, showing that when you lose everything, you always still have your sense of humour.

  • You notice when your money is taken, go to Jew York City to chase it.

  • thats not a very intelligent response. cowards hide behind anonymous comments. Jews have nothing to with it. One person doesnt represent all the Jews in the world. Does your idiocy and cowardice and ignorance represent all the non Jews in the world? i dont think you represent anyone, even yourself.

  • You are my HERO!

    I was also a victim along with my mother and my brother. We lost our savings to Bradley Eisner. We lost 150,000. My parents lost part of their retirement because I TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS A GOOD INVESTMENT. My heart has been crushed and I am devastated. I have felt powerless and I feel like you just gave me a voice. Michele, Los Angeles, Ca.

  • Hi Michele

    it means a lot to me that you say that because thats why I did it. I'd liike this film to be a voice for all of us and those that have been frauded out of their money and finding ways so that cannot happen to others. Please see above for my contact info as i am her for two days and would love to speak with you about it as i am looking for others to share their stories to warn others.

see all

  • Nov 2010: approx 40-50% returned to those who "invested" with RAZR FX from $66M confiscated by the Court. Eisner got probation, MacCaull got over 15 years.

  • This looks interesting, when is it coming out?

  • You'll eventually be able to make a ponzi movie about Social Security when it collaspes.

  • really interesting!

    where or how can i watch the whole documentary?

  • Awesome, let me know where can I get the film.

  • Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes are different concepts. You can look up the difference in the Wikipedia article on Ponzi schemes if you are interested. Ponzi is the last name of the man who orchistrated a very succesful scheme of this type in the 1920's, not a made up word.

  • why do they call it ponzi ?

    it was called pyramid sceme before,

    but then people may realise all of the capitalistic system is a pyramid,

    so we call it "ponzi" al of a sudden and act like people are stupid that they don't know what

    a new word people just invented is.

    welcome to ponzimerica.

  • yep your right english is not my native language, cus i must just not be an ignorant enough to have it be, right? Thats what it is if i said i was an arian white christian kid then and only then could my native language be english. thats what it is. Thanks for clearing that up for me. By golly i hope you say something witty like "Yeah i know i am," or something along those lines. By the way you will make an amazing parent for a fine young nazi one day. then you can be proud of your own schemes.
