Is your money safe? Charles Ponzi lent the Ponzi scheme its name, but he is not the first or the last to dupe investors with this age-old con. Bernard Madoff, Tom Petters, and others amassed billions before their arrests, but it is not all about the money.
Find out what makes fraudsters tick, and how they swindle their victims. The biggest Ponzi scheme of all time is operating under the radar right now, unknown and undetected by regulators and unsuspecting investors.
Could you be a victim? Learn how scammers stay under the radar, and discover my stunning prediction of exactly where, when, and how this massive Ponzi scheme will finally collapse.

“Anatomy of a Ponzi” is extremely well written. Cross knows her stuff who doesn’t confuse you with technical jargon while at the same time not talking down to you. The highlight of the book, to me, was a review of the all-time top ten global Ponzi schemes. It’s good to know there are stupid people around the world. Originally written in 2013, I also appreciated the fact that Cross updated the book just this month – January 2018.
My only complaint about this book was Randal Schaffer. There was just something about his voice that grated on me and he almost – almost – detracted from an excellent book.

I can't help think that on the right circumstances I would too be tempted to invest in one.
While most seem idiotic some are really complicated and made me think that it's not surprising that they profited as much as they did.
The narration is a bit dry for my taste but didn't prevent me from enjoying the book.
A great practical cover of ponzi schemes

I had no complaints with the narrator. He was clear and concise and his voice is perfect for non-fiction work.

This was a really captivating and informative listen. It is so interesting to understand how criminals think! I understood how ponzi and pyramid schemes worked in general but this book really gave me the details that put it all together. As a person who deals with financial statements and analysis thereof quite regularly, i feel that i benefited from listening to this book both from an enjoyment as well as from a professional perspective. The narration was clear and well presented.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in these schemes, and how to identify them and avoid them.
Note: This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this objective review voluntarily.
A fascinating and informative read!
