People of all walks of life have „been docking, to his offte for weeks and handing over their savings, upon which he promised to pay 50 per cent, interest within 90 days, but more often sctually paid it in half that ; time:

With the deposits received from his customers Mr. Ponzi converted Ameri- can dollars ints Italian lire and other foreign currency. Then through agents in several countries. abroad: international reply coupons were pur- chased redeemable at normal instead of the prevailing rate of exchange: The coupons were transmitted from one European country to another. I gathering profits through succeeding exchanges, in-some cases as high as 400 per cent.

When the transaction was com- pleted, usually within 45 days, the proceeds were reconverted into Ameri- can dollars at the normal excharige

reje.

The United States Attorner, Mr. Gallagher, commenting on the case. said: *The United States Govern- ment is the largest use: of internation- al reply coupons in the world, but the entire issue by the Government in the last 12 months is only a small frac- tion of the number which must have been handled by Mr. Ponzi to account for the tremendous income which he claims to have made since December."} In a statement Mr. Ponzi declares that his indebtedness is £600.000 at most, and that he has several mil lions of dollars. more than enough to meet it on deposit in various banks in the United States and Europe.
