When the "work" of o Ponzi, were the early years of those who brought about the stock market crash of 1929.
That is, when it prevailed in the USA a) orgasm of construction work b) huge inequality between the earnings (wages) of workers and the incomes of those who were called pioneers in building the US in the form we know them today and c) the first sparks of what was later called the "Chicago School" with its best-known spokesman Milton Friedman (Milton Friedman).
Poverty, hardship, uninsured work, "help the poor do not become like you" were the daily grind in a society struggling to survive. That is, the period had all the "guarantees" for any evil-minded swindler to find suitable and fertile ground to deceive the weak (financially and mentally) who wanted to make "5 more francs".
The same happened not to mention the period 2008-2009 back in the US when Ponzi's "descendant" Bernie Meidoff (Bernard Lawrence Madoff Wall's biggest cheater Street), at times a) unbridled capitalism and economic "opportunities" and b) huge gap between rich and poor, he built his own new pyramid.
With these as shaky cases of examples to avoid, we come to the situation where, if Ponzi and Maidoff were lucky enough to be alive and based, then after their scams were exposed, they would have filed a dozen lawsuits and lawsuits for libel against anyone who called : thief.
And not only would they file lawsuits and lawsuits, but they would also have "their" judges, investigators, prosecutors who, not only would not throw their lawsuits in the trash, but on the contrary would run for 10-11 years of "accused" in the seats of the accused, even after the demolition of the pyramid and the "accused"
would fight all these years a) to endure b) to realize that it is possible to be accused of an affair that has become widely known as scam and c) to be acquitted.
Not to win, but to be acquitted!
I have experienced such a case with her bank which, after it was destroyed and the HFSF entered its funds, are still "running" trials (one more) where I try to convey to the judges that "from here I who revealed the fraud to you and from there as my accusers those who did it".
I mention this dear iguru, Dimitris G. and Dimitris that you hate on Mondays because you express the question of how the Prosecution does not deal with such issues, when it chases .srt and .torrent
The answer is simple, my dear friends, and it is simply called "liberalism" or "power of wealth wherever it comes from" or "bestiality of capitalism" etc etc
Finally, the fact that thousands of Greeks "trampled" her with fraud, is not a fact that happened. It is a fact that the social amorphousness that the patricians built for a number of years at the expense of the Greek mass "succeeded". As he "succeeded" in the extreme redistribution of wealth (always from the poor to the rich of the elite) created by "laws" economists, as he succeeded in the annihilation of the mind and creative thinking of the Greeks, re-creating the "trend" in every form of weak described by: grab to have and steal to eat … As it created the "trend" of the explosion of prostitution, gambling, drugs, psychosis.
In closing, I will clarify the word "psofos" that I mention in the title of my comment.
I do not hide that until a few years ago I was sad, I was struggling to put my mind to those I could, I was trying to awaken consciences and to liberate the spirit of those I saw falling…
Now, unfortunately, I only deal with levels where the discussion makes sense, even if there are opposing opinions, and to those who are dissolved by their stupidity or by a desire to win gambling, I mention only the "fat".
I know I'm not doing well, I know I'm hardened. But I have no other appetite and endurance for if I listen to doctrines, sneers and conjectures of people who do NOT want to get up from the gambling or beer tables or wish lists through facebook or TV garbage. People who no longer have a trace of dignity and honesty.
