Charles Ponzi, who gives his name to the Ponzi Scheme, was a notable American entrepeneur in the 1920's. Ponzi was born in Italy but soon emigrated to the United States, where, with just $2.50 in his pocket and a sly look on his face, he proceeded to get fired for theft from a succession of low-paying restaurant jobs until he couldn't stand it anymore and left the US for neighboring Canada. It was in this liberal hippy Bear haven that he learned the fine art of confidence. Ponzi can also be regarded as one of the first true proponents of modern Capitalist economic theory.

As he grew older, the Japanese government surrendered, and he survived the atomic bombing, specifically because he lived his life backwards (and perhaps the bomb-proof, ten-inch thick radiation suit he liked to wear). He witnessed the un-upraising of Japanese imperialism, unfortunately his account of the historic events are somewhat blurred due to the fact he had his back to the action.

Being thus inspired, he invented the famous Ponzi scheme and became a famous economist. He emigrated to the America in 1903 on the back of the baby delivering stalk and enjoyed welfare until his death in 1888, apparently being unchoked by a piece salmon bone; which is rather stupid really because the salmon in question had died a day previously - I mean how can a dead fish kill, err, unkill you! It is interesting that his birth last name means "panties" in Japanese. Whilst his middle name is subject to change throughout the duration of job interviews to ensure he sounds like a worthy candidate (even though he's not - killed by a dead fish, come on)!
