Ponzi Scheme

Named after Carlos K. "Charles" Ponzi, the basis of the scheme is to attract investors, paying  alleged profits to the last investor out of funds from the next investor.  Funds are never invested at all, profits are never realized except by the perpetrator.  Usually, enough money is returned to the original few investors to make them believe that profits are actually being realized.
