The Swindler Before Him
Until he got caught
I did not work for my money
I swindled money out of people
Only to get caught
So I fled to another city
I may have influenced other wealthy financial souls
Like Arthur Basel and Victor Lustig
I died broke and poor at a charity hospital
In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
On January 18 1949
What is my true name?
What is the name of my scheme?
I was a
financier, swindler and con-artist
By the name of Carlo Pietro Giovanni Guglielmo Tebaldo Ponzi
But you know my scheme
Where I steal money from my new clients
And pay my old clients with their money
Bernie Madoff used my scheme decades laterBy the name of Carlo Pietro Giovanni Guglielmo Tebaldo Ponzi
But you know my scheme
Until he got caught
I did not work for my money
I swindled money out of people
Only to get caught
So I fled to another city
I may have influenced other wealthy financial souls
Like Arthur Basel and Victor Lustig
I died broke and poor at a charity hospital
In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
On January 18 1949
What is my true name?
What is the name of my scheme?
