This is when a business or person promises high financial returns for individuals who invest in certain companies. However, the financial returns are actually from past investor payments. Eventually, once this model becomes unsustainable, the business person may disappear with the remaining funds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-it-called-a-ponzi-scheme\"><\/span>Why is it Called a Ponzi Scheme?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This type of fraud is named after the first person to do it, Charles Ponzi. Charles was a man from Boston, MA who promised his investors a 50% return, ultimately disappearing with some of the money invested. He was eventually found, convicted, and imprisoned, and thus, the Ponzi scheme had been created.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ponzi-scheme-versus-pyramid-scheme\"><\/span>Ponzi Scheme Versus Pyramid Scheme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ponzi and pyramid schemes are quite similar in that they both involve investment fraud. However, pyramid schemes usually involve numerous parties who are offered high returns on investment and the ability to make money if they recruit more people to join the \u2018business.\u2019 Many people may join pyramid schemes with good intentions, not knowing they have teamed up with a fraudulent organization.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"criminal-penalties-for-ponzi-schemes\"><\/span>Criminal Penalties for Ponzi Schemes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are found guilty of running a Ponzi scheme, you could face numerous charges.<\/p>\n<p>You may be charged with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fraude electr\u00f3nico<\/li>\n<li>Investment fraud<\/li>\n<li>Fraude bancario<\/li>\n<li>Fraude postal<\/li>\n<li>Tax evasion<\/li>\n<li>Other financial crimes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result, you could be fined thousands of dollars and sentenced to prison time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"florida-fraud-criminal-defense\"><\/span>Florida Fraud Criminal Defense<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have recently been charged with fraud in connection to a Ponzi scheme, contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffweiner.com\/es\/descripcion-general-de-la-empresa\/\">nuestro equipo<\/a> at Jeffrey S.
