A Ponzi scheme (, Italian: [ˈpontsi]) is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors. The scheme leads victims to believe that profits are coming from legitimate business activity (e. g. , product sales or successful investments), and they remain unaware that other investors are the source of funds.
