It looks into what makes up a Ponzi Scheme, how often they occur (according to Cross about once a year... since the middle ages!) and how many fraudsters are psychopaths. He also details the life and fraud of the man for whom the phenomenon was named Charles Ponzi. Other chapters cover; Chapter 4. Nineteenth Century Swindlers - Ponzi Pioneers (followed by a slew of other famous Ponziers) Chapter 5. Paul Burks Chapter 6. Marc Dreier Chapter 7. Nevin Shapiro Chapter 8. Ioan Stoica Chapter9. Damara Bertges (even women can be schemers) Chapter10. Scott Rothstein Chapter11. Tom Petters Chapter12. Allen Stanford Other chapters cover Chapter 17. Spotting Ponzi schemes and...

Author Information
Colleen Cross writes three bestselling mystery/thriller series. Her latest, the Westwick Witches Cozy Mystery series, is a paranormal cozy mystery set in tiny Westwick Corners, an almost-ghost town where nothing ever happens ...except when the witches get involved! Her two popular mystery/thriller/crime series feature Katerina Carter, a forensic accountant and fraud investigator with street smarts. She always does the right thing, though her unorthodox methods are a little hair-raising and heart stopping.Colleen also writes white collar crime nonfiction. Anatomy of a Ponzi: Scams Past and Present exposes the biggest Ponzi schemers of all time and how they get away with their crimes. She predicts the exact time and place the biggest Ponzi scheme ever will be exposed, and it will be soon!
