This book is a decent overview of Ponzi schemes and the people who initiate these schemes. I was aware of the American-based Ponzi schemes, since they were all featured on American Greed (a good source of information if you want to learn more about Drier, Shapiro, Rothstein, Petters & Stanford).

I did not enjoy this book in the slightest. Not only does it drag on with largely repetitive information, but it contains the equivalent of a handful of Wikipedia pages. If you have any existing knowledge in regards to ponzi schemes then you are already beyond the scope of this book.
