Item description from the seller

It was a time when anything seemed possibleâ€“instant wealth, glittering fame, fabulous luxuryâ€“and for a run of magical weeks in the spring and summer of 1920, Charles Ponzi made it all come true. Promising to double investorsâ€™ money in three months, the dapper, charming Ponzi raised the â€œrob Peter to pay Paulâ€ 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 downâ€“thanks in large part to the relentless investigative reporting of Richard Grozierâ€™s Boston Post. A classic American tale of immigrant life and the dream of success, Ponziâ€™s Scheme is the amazing story of the magnetic scoundrel who launched the most successful scheme of financial alchemy in modern history.
