The original Ponzi scheme jumps out. Charles Ponzi done a similar fraud back in 1918-1920. You can check out Dona Branca, Nicholas Cosmo, Sergei Panteleevich Mavrodi, Lou Pearlman, Tom Petters, Reed Slatkin, Hakan Yalincak, Brian J. Smart, and Allen Stanford all ran similar schemes.
I would go so far as listing most any pyramid schemes or the so called "airplane" clubs that were going around back in the late 80's. |
