Pyramid Schemes/Ponzi Scheme Representation

Over our years of practice we have noticed that a particular form of activity may crop up in bad economic times. Desperate to keep up with their bills, some individuals will try to make a pyramid scheme (sometimes called Ponzi schemes) work for them.

Pyramid schemes work something like a chain letter. Later-investors’ money is used to pay off early investors until the entire scam comes falling down like a house of cards when the pyramid gets unwieldy and there is no longer any enough money to “rob Peter to pay Paul.” We help defendants who are charged with operating Ponzi-like schemes under both state and federal statutes. If you have found yourself in trouble with the law because of involvement with a pyramid scheme, our team can help.
