Today on the Open Your Eyes podcast, McKay talks about creating lasting wealth, and opens up the episode with two stories about Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff - both of whom schemed investors out of billions of dollars. He points out that, unlike Ponzi, Madoff, and their corrupt practices, in order to create genuine wealth, one has to define what wealth truly means. The next step according to McKay to generate wealth is to save and invest, and goes on to urge the audience to diversify these investments in order to best mitigate risk.Last but not least, McKay argues that investors simply think differently, and if people want to be wealthy they should do so as well. Investors think like owners, whereas the ‘average Joe' might be more likely to think that their income is sufficient enough to live on without investments. This is why McKay believes so strongly in the power of financial education - after all, if we don't take the time to learn the game, how are we ever supposed to play it?The Finer Details of This Episode:The story of Charles PonziDeciding what real wealth means to youThe importance of saving and investingDiversification and averagingHow to minimize taxes Why investors think differentlyQuotes: “When something is too good to be true, it most likely is. I can't tell you the number of times people have come to me telling me about the latest sure thing, and that sure thing doesn't turn out.”“These schemes often promise high returns with little risk. Educated investors understand there is always risk.”“Riches are not an end in life, but an instrument in life.”“The goal of good investing is to get your money working for you. This seems obvious, but getting the right mindset about investing is really important.”“When you get educated, you'll learn that the older you get and the closer you come to needing your money to live on, the more you need to reduce the chances of volatility.”“An investor thinks differently. They don't think about how much they can earn as an employee, they think about how much they can earn as an owner.”“Determine what real wealth means to you. Get your plan established. Start investing today. Build a diversified portfolio, and average into the market. Take advantage of tax advantaged investments. Get educated, and give 10% of what you earn.”Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

The 1920s were a time when people were after easy money…people flocked to the stock market, buying up shares in small companies with borrowed money…and for a while, returns were good. But this go-go atmosphere also attracted swindlers and con artists…Carlo was one of them…he arrived in the U.S. From Italy in 1903 with $2.50 in his pocket…he'd boarded the ship with more, but Carlo had lost most of it gambling. He eventually made his way to Montreal where, as a bank teller, he made connections with many new Italian immigrants…the bank had been paying very high interest…these interest payments were covered by the profits from real estate investments…except that they weren't. All payments were funded through new deposits from new customers…when the flow of new customers stopped, the interest payments dried up, clients demanded their money, and the bank failed…the owner ran off to Mexico with whatever money was left. But Carlo was intrigued…by 1920, he was in New York running a company that promised to double investors' money in 90 days…and if you were a ground-floor investor, that's exactly what happened…and you were paid promptly. By mid-1920, Carlo's company made millions…investors clamored give him money, handing over their life savings and mortgaging their houses…but then several people got suspicious…how could Carlo keep offering such amazing returns? He couldn't…the profits could only keep coming if there were new investors…by July 1920, it all started to collapse…the debts were huge…six banks involved in Carlo's plot failed…at least $20 million—more than $300 million in today's money—just disappeared. When he went to prison, Carlo was booked under his assumed name: Charles Ponzi…this kind of fraud is now known as a “Ponzi scheme”. The world is full of scam artists, many of whom think that they can avoid the mistakes of Charles Ponzi…but the math and the finances never work…Ponzi schemes always fail. They've been tried with stocks, currency trading, beauty products from south Africa, the planting of teak trees in India, church donations, fake loans—even (believe it or not), ant farming in China…and of course, there was Bernie Madoff's investment club that fleeced people of at least $65 billion. There's also one Ponzi scheme that involved a couple of groups that legitimately sold tens of millions of CDs…but behind it all was a financial scam. This is “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry” …and this is the wild story of the Lou Pearlman and the great boy band Ponzi scheme. Learn more about your ad choices.

Et bien non ! Des arnaques similaires existaient avant lui ! Notamment celle de Sarah Howe, qui avait élaboré un schéma financier frauduleux dans les années 1870, soit plusieurs décennies avant Ponzi.Sarah Howe et le « *Ladies' Deposit »Sarah Howe était une arnaqueuse américaine qui a conçu une escroquerie pyramidale à destination des femmes, connue sous le nom de Ladies' Deposit, dans les années 1870 à Boston. Son arnaque ciblait spécifiquement les femmes célibataires ou veuves, qu'elle convainquait de placer leur argent dans une société censée être exclusivement dédiée à elles. Howe prétendait que ce fonds d'investissement secret rapportait des intérêts exorbitants, autour de 8% par mois. Les femmes déposaient leur argent en espérant recevoir ces intérêts mensuels élevés, et Howe utilisait l'argent des nouvelles clientes pour payer les intérêts des anciennes, créant ainsi un schéma pyramidal. Il n'y avait aucune activité commerciale réelle ou aucun investissement légitime derrière ce modèle financier : elle se contentait de redistribuer l'argent des nouveaux dépôts pour maintenir l'illusion de rentabilité.Similarités avec le schéma de PonziLe modèle financier utilisé par Sarah Howe a fonctionné exactement de la même manière qu'un schéma de Ponzi : les profits des anciens investisseurs étaient payés par les nouveaux investisseurs, créant l'apparence d'une entreprise florissante alors qu'il n'y avait pas de gains réels ou de profits générés par des investissements authentiques. Ce schéma de redistribution des fonds finit par s'effondrer lorsque le flux de nouveaux dépôts diminue, rendant impossible le paiement des anciens investisseurs. Ce fut exactement ce qui arriva à Howe : en 1880, après avoir collecté une somme substantielle d'argent, le Ladies' Deposit s'effondra lorsque des journalistes commencèrent à s'intéresser à son activité et que le nombre de nouveaux déposants chuta. Howe fut arrêtée et emprisonnée pour fraude.Pourquoi Charles Ponzi est plus célèbre ?Même si Sarah Howe avait créé une escroquerie de type Ponzi bien avant Charles Ponzi, c'est ce dernier qui a donné son nom à ce type de fraude en raison de l'ampleur et de la notoriété de son arnaque dans les années 1920. Ponzi a promis à ses investisseurs un retour sur investissement de 50% en 45 jours ou 100% en 90 jours, en prétendant utiliser les fonds pour exploiter des arbitrages sur les coupons-réponse internationaux, un système postal à l'époque. Comme pour Howe, Ponzi payait les anciens investisseurs avec les fonds des nouveaux, sans aucun investissement réel.Cependant, l'escroquerie de Ponzi a pris une bien plus grande ampleur que celle de Howe, attirant des milliers de personnes et générant des millions de dollars avant de s'effondrer en 1920. La taille de son arnaque, son charisme et la couverture médiatique qu'il a reçue ont fait de Ponzi un nom bien plus associé à ce type de fraude, même s'il n'en est pas l'inventeur. Hébergé par Acast.

In January 1920, an Italian American businessman in Boston started a new company.

In 1920 an Italian immigrant named Charles Ponzi found a legal way to get rich but he needed investment money. He convinced people he could double their money in 90 days and within 6 months he grew a company from nothing to be worth almost half a billion in today's money. His house of cards came crashing down and he spent 14 years in prison before being deported back to Italy and eventually dying penniless in Brazil in the late 1940's. Listen along as we discuss the life and crimes of the man behind the birth of the Ponzi scheme. Music by Gioele Fazzeri from Pixabay

Every generation produces a financier or businessperson who personifies how easy it can be to part fools from their money, part smart people from their senses, and part the media from skepticism. There's a long list of exhibits of that genre, from Charles Ponzi to Bernie Madoff. Does Sam Bankman-Fried belong in that pantheon? There's lots of evidence suggesting he does. He – and the crypto-currency empire he built – are the subjects of sprawling fraud and money laundering probes. His company, FTX, is bankrupt and federal prosecutors in New York have indicted the 31 year-old former multi-billionaire for a range of financial crimes. SBF, as he's known, maintains that he is innocent of any wrongdoing and he still gets to have his day in court. Hannah Miller covers crypto for Bloomberg News and is the host of a new podcast, “Spellcaster,” about the life and times of SBF. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tonight we're actually covering a Victorian-era adjacent story, of one of the most famous con men in history. And I bet a lot of you are familiar with this story, as I was myself when I first set out planning this episode. But through out my research, I was surprised to learn that I made a lot of assumptions about this person that turned out to be not true. I assumed this person was some criminal mastermind, who evaded authorities while hiding in plain sight… But no… they were just a common thief, who had no end game in sight, who was wheeling and dealing at breakneck speed, solely relying on their persuasive and charismatic personality to succeed and fool many, many people - and that is frankly even more fascinating to me.

In the late 1870s, a woman named Sarah Howe started a bank just for single women called the Ladies' Deposit Company. She asked new customers to tell their friends about the bank rather than advertising in newspapers, and she promised she could almost double their money.

You've heard of a Ponzi Scheme. Lots of multi-millionaires and billionaires have been in the news for running Ponzi schemes and getting sent to prison. Well, this episode covers the man that the scheme is named after. Charles Ponzi had $2.50 cents when he arrived in America in the early 1900s. He had even less when he left 30 something years later, but in the time that he was in America, he conned thousands of people out of millions of dollars. This is the story of how he did it. How he rose to millions and how he lost it all. Thank you for listening to this episode. If you would like to join the Crime Nerds fan club there are two ways.

It's April fools month! Alex is telling us about a man who fooled lots and lots of people. The schemer himself, Charles Ponzi! Clara talks about an incredible athlete who isn't well known because he was such an incredible fool, Rube Waddell.
Calling herself a financial agent, Sarah Emily Howe introduced the women of the greater Boston area to the Ladies' Deposit Company, which potentially sounds a lot better than what it really was: a swindle. The Ladies' Deposit was a savings bank that promised women a very high interest rate on deposits – so high, it seemed to impossible. It relied on referrals, and Sarah used the deposits she collected from those new customers to pay the large returns she'd promised to early customers. If that sounds like a Ponzi scheme to you, you're right -- but it happened about 40 years before Ponzi, himself, tried it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Over 100 years ago, Charles Ponzi launched a scheme so wildly but only temporarily successful that his name would come to represent all similar schemes that followed. And, boy, would they follow. The economy is currently in flux, leading to price instability on just about everything, except for AriZona Tea. It costs the same .99 cents today that it did 30 years ago.Chuck E.
