A ponzi scheme is a fraudulent operation that promises to pay investors unusual returns on their investment. The scheme does not earn money through legitimate business, rather it relies on investment from new investors to pay back older investors.
It is named after Charles Ponzi who became famous for applying schemes of this type during early 20th century.
