+    A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors.
+    Ponzi schemes are named after Charles Ponzi. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors a 50% return

+    Ponzi Schemes. With little or no legitimate earnings, 
+    Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of new money to survive. 
+    When it becomes hard to recruit new investors, 
+    or when large numbers of existing investors cash out, 
+    these schemes collapse.
