Charles Ponzi came to America’s
shores during 1903 and eventually became known for the investment
scheme he concocted which paid out returns to investors, using later
investors’ money.
A number of notorious Ponzi schemes
were flushed out following the Fall 2008 financial
crisis. Investor victims sought to redeem their
investments at the same time, collapsing the delicate house of cards
that each Ponzi operator had created. This
resulted in billions of dollars in victim losses.
During this training, you will have
the opportunity to hear from H. David Kotz, the former Inspector
General of the SEC, Harry Markopolos, who detected and repeatedly
warned the SEC about the Madoff investment scam, James Conversano, a
consultant to the SEC and noted financial industry expert, and a
prosecutor from the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division’s
Fraud Section. The speakers will cover a number of important areas
and topics relative to the operation and detection of Ponzi and
similar investment schemes, along with the prosecution of these
frauds.
