Charles Ponzi perpetrated his infamous scheme almost a hundred years ago. But his        method of using new investments to pay existing investors and finance a highflying        lifestyle is alive and well: just as much money is lost in the United States today        from Ponzi schemes as from shoplifting. Somehow, con artists are able to dazzle        wealthy, educated individuals and sophisticated institutions and convince them to        hand over huge sums of money. How?In The Ponzi Scheme Puzzle, renowned legal scholar        Tamar Frankel explores these con artists' fascinating power of persuasion and        deception, uncovering the subtle signals that mimic truth and honesty. After years        of close study of hundreds of cases, Frankel explains the striking patterns that        emerge and the common characteristics of the con artists and their victims. She        offers clear yet comprehensive descriptions of the various designs of Ponzi        schemers' attractive offers and flags the ways in which they mask their deception        through specialized methods of advertising and selling. She then constructs lucid        profiles of the con artists and their victims, exposing the core nature of the        people at the heart of the schemes and showing how over time the lines between        predator and prey are blurred. There are indeed many lessons to learn from these        stories, and Frankel brings them to light through the insightful results of her        research. She shows how peoples' attitudes are ambivalent and uncertain toward con        artists, perhaps because their behavior is so seemingly honest, because they act        like the social leaders with whom they are likely to mingle, or perhaps because        their actions are thought to shake up a complacent society. Frankel concludes by        offering a surprising solution on how to prevent charming, dangerous con artists        from perpetuating the enduring, disastrous legacy of Charles Ponzi.
