Ep 33: Getting rich quick always works: The story of Charles Ponzi

We start off this week with the story of the man whose scam was so good they named it after him - the infamous Charles Ponzi. If it’s too good to be true, it’s probably not true unless you can get in and get out really quickly - then you might benefit! 

Farz also notes that the first “Ponzi Scheme” was actually committed by Sarah Howe in Boston in 1879 - but a Howe Scheme doesn’t have the same ring to it.
