Tonight we’re actually covering a Victorian-era adjacent story, of one of the most famous con men in history. And I bet a lot of you are familiar with this story, as I was myself when I first set out planning this episode. But through out my research, I was surprised to learn that I made a lot of assumptions about this person that turned out to be not true. I assumed this person was some criminal mastermind, who evaded authorities while hiding in plain sight… But no… they were just a common thief, who had no end game in sight, who was wheeling and dealing at breakneck speed, solely relying on their persuasive and charismatic personality to succeed and fool many, many people - and that is frankly even more fascinating to me. This is the story of Charles Ponzi.
