Non-Fiction Biography | Non-Fiction History
It was a time when anything seemed possible–instant wealth,
glittering fame, fabulous luxury–and for a run of magical
weeks in the spring and summer of 1920, Charles Ponzi made
it all come true. Promising to double investors’ money in
three months, the dapper, charming Ponzi raised the “rob
Peter to pay Paul” scam to an art form. At the peak of his
success, Ponzi was raking in more than $2 million a week at
his office in downtown Boston. Then his house of cards came
crashing down–thanks in large part to the relentless
investigative reporting of Richard Grozier’s Boston Post. A
classic American tale of immigrant life and the dream of
success, Ponzi’s Scheme is the amazing story of the magnetic
scoundrel who launched the most successful scheme of
financial alchemy in modern history.
