Fraud, Schemes and Cons Begone!

Individuals are not the only ones at risk of significant losses due to mistaken investments in Ponzi schemes or other scam investments. Flimflammery is everywhere, even in the biggest boardrooms. For instance, hundreds of millions of dollars were lost by investment firms in the Madoff investment collapse, with some companies losing all of their assets.

Boy band producer Lou Pearlman, responsible for the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and others, had the longest running ponzi-scheme in U.S. history. For more than twenty years, Pearlman enticed individuals, businesses and banks to invest in companies that existed only on paper. During that time, he had reportedly swindled a total of over one billion dollars. Eventually, he took a plea deal forcing him to pay back two hundred million – a drop in the proverbial bucket. He later died in prison. Many never received a dime back.
