THAT "SWINDLE TRUST"
Ponzi, dusting the books in his
penitentiary library, must have a
rapid pulse as he ponders the frenzied-finance
operations of the "Swin
dle Trust," now being exposed by
more than 100 secret service agents.
Ponii was a piker.
His "50 per cent in 90 days" lur
ed only $10,000,000.
But the operations of the nation
wide "Swindle Trust" according to J
astonished secret service heads, in
volve in the neighborhood of $100,
000,000. Most of the big swindles of the
past have been based on the mathe
matical system of progression
what gamblers call "doubling the
bet."
A $1,000 dupe is paid out of $2,
000 from a second dupe. A $3,000
sucker enables the swindler to pay
off the $2,000 victim. And so on.
The Wheel finally gets so big
that its operators can't turn it.
When it stops, the crash comes.
And the swindlers rarely are
shrewd enough to casli in and van
ish before the blow-up. -'
"The bang on, saying, "Don't quit
now. Lets give it Just one more
turn."
That's human nature.
. Cassie Chadwick kept her swin
dle wheel going eight years.
The South Seas Bubble, formed
to wipe out England's national debt
in 1711, by exploiting trade to the
South Seas, lasted nine years. Then
its stock was quoted at $1,000
and the manipulators sold out and
let others hold the bag.
The Tulia Mania in Holland, 300
years ago, set people so crazy that
they paid as high as $2,800 for a
single bulb. This swindle blew up
within three years.
The Mississippi Bubble, greatest
in history, exploded after three
years, when its stock reached SO
times its par value of $20,000,000.
In all the history of swindling,
there's only one giant operator that
got away with it for a long time
Mme. Hunbert, who borrowed $14,
000,000 in Paris and kept the wheel
moving for 20 years.
Frenzied finance is a bubble.
And bubbles always burst.
