Falling for a Ponzi scheme is bad enough. Then comes years of waiting to get back whatever scraps are left of your investment.
In 2008, authorities exposed Minnesota businessman Thomas Petters as running one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history. A decade later, efforts to repay at least some of the $1.9 billion that investors claimed they lost are still under way.
Lawyers unwinding the Bernard Madoff and R. Allen Stanford investment frauds aren’t done either. Indeed, most of the major Ponzi schemes that collapsed around the time of the 2008 economic downturn are still being unwound, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis.
