Federal Defense against Ponzi Scheme Charges

A pyramid model has been successfully used by several different types of businesses, but sometimes it becomes a Ponzi scheme in which early investors are paid with the investments of later investors and later investors are not paid at all. In recent years we've seen a number of high profile criminal cases involving Ponzi schemes. Some started out quite legitimately but were unsustainable and the manager of the funds got into trouble trying to meet the demands of investors.

The fund manager in a Ponzi scheme has usually been under investigation by federal law enforcement for months, and possibly years, before charges are filed against them in federal court. They may have been the subject of a grand jury proceeding.

White collar crime charges brought against the accused person often include business fraud, theft, mail and wire fraud, possibly securities fraud.
