Ponzi Scheme

He played the Ponzi
Scheme to the hilt,
Fraudulently, he took
Money for investments
Which were never filled,
Paid Peter to pay Moe
With high interests to go,
Always borrowed
An increasing amount,
But on his prompt return
Anyone could count
And his credit was very good
In the general 'business hood'.
When he got too old to play,
He folded up and called it a day,
Fifty billion were lost out of hand,
With some billions landing
In the Bahamas and Switzerland,
To have security
In his ageing maturity,
Now, he is out on bail
And, god forbid, not in jail,
Soon he'll disappear
To join his billions
In foreign lands
And be in good cheer
For many a year...
