Ponzi

Charles Ponzi, author of one of the greatest scams in American history, recounts from his deathbed how his various adventures lead to the infamous scheme that collected him millions of dollars in mere weeks, with jail time and deportation shortly thereafter. 

We explore the many adventures of Ponzi, showing how his comically delusional psychology led him not only to frequent misunderstandings, imprisonment, and loves, but also, accidentally, to the largest scam in United States History. 

Based on Ponzi’s actual autobiography.
