Quality over quantity man, it feels like you are spamming out crap lately and it’s kind of irritating me I mean yeah the videos aren’t bad but stop picking such mainstream topics that literally everyone else does and already has done, like really man everybody knows about charles ponzi for gods sake the ponzi scheme is named after him, as I said in another comment patrick boyle imo did a much more in depth documentary on charles ponzi already, I would personally like to see less of the mainstream stuff everyone has already done and do the more obscure ones like the lego video you did, I would rather spend my time learning something interesting instead of watching something I already know

This man worked so hard to be a scammer and lost years of his life as opposed to just making an honest living at the very least honourably but with a clean reputation

[@AnotherPersonStoppingBy]

But he had MANY "honest" jobs in his life. But they were all menial and didn't pay. His real problem was that he could neither get honest jobs that paid well, nor could he move up high enough in his jobs to get paid better. His hard work wasn't paying off. Basically, he had the same problem back then that most employees are having today. His biggest problem was being nothing special. He was just desperate, delusional, and determined enough to live in his own reality instead of settling into a bleak life by accepting the cards he was dealt.

[@DeadDancers]

6:55 - I’m very curious about the source of information for this because listen to how it’s framed. ‘ponzi wasn’t satisfied with a steady job and a wife who loved him. Not for himself gosh no!

It was easily worth fifteen million bucks to watch me put the thing over."

Great video man! One thing I have to note though, for your next videos, talk a bit slower. It deepens your voice and it suits narrating much better. It's just a tip to improve, not hate, I really love your videos! Keep up the good work!

17:44 "5 years in federal prison, a relatively small amount given the huge amount of money stolen and the vast amount of lives ruined" So nothing has changed 🙄

You'd think after like the 6th time he got arrested for scamming people he would at least come up with less illegal ways to scam people.

This was suppose to be a bad story of Ponzi,but rather,I feel motivated by it. Ponzi just keep coming up with new ideas,that’s outstanding for me.

Yeah! I mean he wasnt the angel we hoped for but damn gotta respect the dedication

[@allmightjunior6917]

Things i respect about ponzi : he knows what he wants in life, and he relentless at persuing it. Things i don't like about him: for someone as relentless as him, he is godman lazy to learn or do an honest legal work that will get him what he want. That's what happnes when your goal is only the end result without any consideration to the means used.

This is a perfect example of how greed can dip the blood off your arteries and veins. All legitimately successful and rich people are so, because they learnt to manage their greed and fear. It's a lesson that one must learn.

Thanks for explaining what Ponzi Scheme means. So many years, the news media keep talking about Ponzi Scheme but never explained why what or how.. now I know. Also JLow is a Malaysian. Still on the lose ..

[@ProfAzimov]

Jho Low was Malaysian Chinese

[@isteyak78]

Ooooh! That's why they called it "Ponzi scam? 😂
