@@Rahul_Sastry yeah he should have consider a legal business. But legal business show late success most of the time. All he wanted was to get rich quick and he did, he didn't gave up.
Kinda the opposite for me. A lot of bad things could have been avoided if he'd had just a bit more doubt/skepticism in what he was doing. It makes me not want to make the same mistake he did.
And his cult followers who he didn't like and were creeped out by still continued his madness of stealing the world's eyes. Leading to more financial ruin for EVERYONE!!!
@@DesignByKirk People will die in destitute after scaming millions of people and people will really say they got what they wanted because you still use their name. The end of their life was miserable and awful? "Doesn't matter we still use their name they win."
Ponzi schemes never Target those people who are already rich ...they always targeted those people who are exactly like him more dreams than common sense.....line was lit🔥
If you're going to run a scam, then the first million should always go to developing a good exit strategy. Set up a fake identity and everything ahead of time for when you inevitably need to run. Of course, most con artists that go big are initially successful because they have the confidence to believe it will never fail.
You really don't need the fake identity. You just need to find a way to squirrel away a chunk that can't be touched. You get caught and do a few years in club fed , and you come out a rich person. Happens all the time.
It's actually quite a sad story. He apparently had so little self love that he needed the external validation of expensive stuff so bad he ended up ruining his marriage and spending years and years in jail.
Sarah Howe in Boston (1870’s) is also in the running for the first Ponzi Scheme. She operated a bank for single women that promised 8% returns, but in reality was running a Ponzi scheme.
I was always curious as to where the name Ponzi Scheme came from. It's really interesting story watching him go from riches to rags back to riches just to complete lose everything.
This man worked so hard to be a scammer and lost years of his life as opposed to just making an honest living at the very least honourably but with a clean reputation
But he had MANY "honest" jobs in his life. But they were all menial and didn't pay. His real problem was that he could neither get honest jobs that paid well, nor could he move up high enough in his jobs to get paid better. His hard work wasn't paying off. Basically, he had the same problem back then that most employees are having today. His biggest problem was being nothing special. He was just desperate, delusional, and determined enough to live in his own reality instead of settling into a bleak life by accepting the cards he was dealt.
I dont know, I think the editing is just too much. Too many moving parts, cant focus on the content. It assaults the eyes. Its like an opening of a news logo animation, but it kept going on and on for the rest of the video. Not good.
What sucks is that this guy easily could have lived such a happy life if he had just kept his head cool. He was living in America, had a beautiful wife who loved him, and a strong work ethic. He could have had everything if he had just poured all of his ambition and motivation into a regular 9-5 job instead of his scheme.
@@TripleOhSeven Many people, especially nowadays, would be happy to have financial Independence, home ownership, and a long-term romantic partner. I was saying that Ponzi sacrificed good at the altar of perfection, and got nothing.
One of lessons I learn from this is basically, Luxury life is like hard drug, once taken and you don’t have legit way to sustain the grind for it, one can turn into desperate attempt to gain a bit of nectar of luxury.
@@nathanielanderson8753not really. That’s like saying North Korean are content with their life. They are only content because they never experienced what is it like to be free
I once almost almost lost a fortune for the scheme. Thank god I consulted my dad and explained him that thing. He immediately smelled it and told me what it is.
From the Wikipedia article: Ponzi granted one last interview to an American reporter, telling him, "Even if they never got anything for it, it was cheap at that price. Without malice aforethought, I had given them the best show that was ever staged in their territory since the landing of the Pilgrims! It was easily worth fifteen million bucks to watch me put the thing over."
Thank you for the video. By the end of it, it's sad how little Mr. Ponzi managed to accomplish. He spent so many years in prison, and the moment that made him famous forever only lasted 6 months. Somehow, I feel bad for him. It's like he wasted his life chasing riches instead of doing anything fulfilling. I guess he got as far as he could in life being dishonest and stupid. Poor guy.
The fact that he actually lived his dream though short, shows that we can achieve whatever we desire. But reality will always test the integrity of our results. That's why we'd rather stay on a safe side when reality checkmates our effort.
@@turkeyherder9456 You can do that in India until 70 next years. Scamming in India is legal and the government didn't care as long as nepotism still in their office

But because he wanted to shower her with diamonds!!! It’s not irrepressible greed anymore, it’s a man in love wanting to give his partner everything she deserves!! And *that’s* why the serial job-quitter and sole provider of his family quit his job again.’
I swear this is one of the most bingeable channels I found. Quick vid request? Maybe a company such as BIC, slightly smaller industry leaders, would be awesome!
When you value people based off how much money people have, this is what you get. Someone with big dreams that achieved them but did so by causing a whole lot of pain to others. In our society it doesnt matter how good or heroic you are, it matters how much money you have to show for it in the end. You can be a hero but never be rich, and you can be rich but never help a single soul Some see a fair playing field, all I see is a warzone
Ofcourse but you will go into history as a nothing if you are a standard millionaire who cares about nothing. We still respect and honour the people who legitimately helped the world and these people would be a legacy. Ofcourse rich people go into history books too but the better they did the better they will be remembered.

The most relevant feature for Ponzi was how it got him sent to prison and penniless. He sounds like an idiot to me. Or someone with a particular mental defect, where he couldn't recognize his wild overoptimism bias no matter how many times he failed.
This presentation was simply outstanding. I just lately become aware of your channel. Your brilliance and capacity to convey complicated ideas in an understandable way are amazing. I'm amazed.

yet, despite Ponzi's failure, he did teach one thing to his successors who did the same thing: get the cash and run before people catch on. a lesson he failed to learn from his former banker boss
oh my god and then a scambot replies to me lmao off I go to report and block again, until TH-cam finally bothers to get smarter about catching them 🙄🤦♀😩
Great video man! One thing I have to note though, for your next videos, talk a bit slower. It deepens your voice and it suits narrating much better. It's just a tip to improve, not hate, I really love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Thanks great video! A person said that he liked the video because, among other things, you put new visuals every second or so, AND that the narration is great. It is, and i'd add that you are able to add visuals beacuse you structured narration so that you HAVE to add visuals in order to correspond to the narration advancement. Cool intuition, nevermind great work :D
Things i respect about ponzi : he knows what he wants in life, and he relentless at persuing it. Things i don't like about him: for someone as relentless as him, he is godman lazy to learn or do an honest legal work that will get him what he want. That's what happnes when your goal is only the end result without any consideration to the means used.
hey man, i thought i'd say this cuz nobody else wants to, but your editing is fucking amazing and you deserve every single cent you earn, i can tell you put your life and soul into this and all your other videos as well, subscribed!
Thanks for explaining what Ponzi Scheme means. So many years, the news media keep talking about Ponzi Scheme but never explained why what or how.. now I know. Also JLow is a Malaysian. Still on the lose ..

Imagine scamming people so hard that the entire scam is named after you because of their PTSD- the world still hasnt forgotten about it lol
I was curious
His wife remarried at the age of 61
Her new husband lived till 90+
She lived till 98years old
She almost made it to the year 2000
15:01 "more dreams than common sense"😂😂😂😂
So that’s where the phrase “ponzi scheme” came from😂
John please always narrate your videos forever and hope you never sell out like Jake Wan, all your hard work will pay off! Your documentaries are Oscar worthy 😍God bless you! 🙏🏾
Who is Jake Wan?
@@fluffypineapple790 A Well known TH-camr who does documentaries on War , politics and business. He used to narrate his own videos but now he pays other people to do it and it doesn’t hit the same anymore
@@zoro8957 thanks for the answer!
your editing is just epic, just 'wow' i always learn something new from every video!!
2:55 let's appreciate the batman backstory music that plays when it's announced that he HAD to work in order to eat
Who else came here to start his own Ponzi scam?
😈
The production of these videos is top notch 👏🏼.
Of course plus a great content
Brutal story man. This guy went through a lot!
A tough lot of his own making.
He went through a lot for what?
Every single bad thing he experienced was totally his own fault
@@arrow1414 still
@@welennelew9866 still he went through a lot just bc he chased his dreams
@@josephleebob3828 and all he caused was nightmares.
Nice of you to cover SBF's extended family
This guys italian, not Jewish

"Invest in my IRC token!"
- Charles Ponzi, 2023
He never gave up until he won and then lost it all
yet, despite Ponzi's failure, he did teach one thing to his successors who did the same thing: get the cash and run before people catch on. a lesson he failed to learn from his former banker boss
I hope after watching this that no one falls for the scambots talking to themselves in the comments about how they supposedly made insane money lol
oh my god and then a scambot replies to me lmao off I go to report and block again, until TH-cam finally bothers to get smarter about catching them 🙄🤦♀😩
I hope they do. Anyone stupid enough to fall for those things deserves what they get. It's like a fiscal Darwin Award.
Great video man! One thing I have to note though, for your next videos, talk a bit slower. It deepens your voice and it suits narrating much better. It's just a tip to improve, not hate, I really love your videos! Keep up the good work!
14:58 "more dreams than common sense"😂
He was persistent that’s for sure lol
Very interesting and fascinating story, there should be a movie about him! Can’t believe there hasn’t been one yet.
30 years old and I never knew this was named after an actual person 😂😂😂
Dude. I cannot keep up with this video animations. SO MUCH ANIMATIONS!!
it’s wild bc it seems like if he was more flexible to pivoting and a bit more self confident he could have been a legitimate businessman
This was suppose to be a bad story of Ponzi,but rather,I feel motivated by it.
Ponzi just keep coming up with new ideas,that’s outstanding for me.
Yeah! I mean he wasnt the angel we hoped for but damn gotta respect the dedication
This story just shows how important honesty is in business
Thanks great video! A person said that he liked the video because, among other things, you put new visuals every second or so, AND that the narration is great. It is, and i'd add that you are able to add visuals beacuse you structured narration so that you HAVE to add visuals in order to correspond to the narration advancement. Cool intuition, nevermind great work :D
Just found this channel today from this video and man can I say outstanding work.
Things i respect about ponzi : he knows what he wants in life, and he relentless at persuing it.
Things i don't like about him: for someone as relentless as him, he is godman lazy to learn or do an honest legal work that will get him what he want. That's what happnes when your goal is only the end result without any consideration to the means used.
I like his passion and energy 🦅
Bro grinded like his life depended on it, till it did
Your editing & cinematography is brilliant......thnx for a great video.
🧐
The sound effects on this is crazy! You outdid yourself!
hey man, i thought i'd say this cuz nobody else wants to, but your editing is fucking amazing and you deserve every single cent you earn, i can tell you put your life and soul into this and all your other videos as well, subscribed!
Thanks for explaining what Ponzi Scheme means. So many years, the news media keep talking about Ponzi Scheme but never explained why what or how.. now I know. Also JLow is a Malaysian. Still on the lose ..
Jho Low was Malaysian Chinese
Kinda like FTX lol. Ponzi scheme in a way in terms of marketing through so many ytbers and social media outlets that no1 questioned them. Thanks for the vid magnates cos you've inspired me to post my own!
The way Secret Pathway To Triumph dives into the concept of abundance is mind-blowing. Secret Pathway To Triumph tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
I don't know what's going on but TH-cam isn't letting me "Like" the video but it is great! Two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm addicted to your video editing. What program is used?
