It is often =aid that Wall Street (the=financial markets) is a casino, but after this week I would label it the ultimate Ponzi Scheme (named after Charles Ponzi who=e company, Securities Exchange Company, in 1919 promised returns of 50% in 45 days or =00% in 90 days out of monies from newer investors) — afte

er investors from their own money or from monies paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned. The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi who became notorious for using the technique in the early 1920's. Page 5 of 2210 CONRAD & SCHERER, LLP, 633 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, FORT LAUDERDALE
