    I enjoy watching programs like American Greed from time to time and I just don't get the mindset of these fraudsters... like, people money is disappearing.. they are going to want it back... you can't keep attracting new investors to pay off old investors forever.. my quality of life would be absolutely 0 with the fact that I know this is going to come crashing down weighing on me.

    According to federal prosecutors, Caldwell and Smith, a Shreveport-based investment adviser, used their clout and influence to persuade people to invest about $3.5 million in historical Chinese bonds. The bonds were reportedly issued by the former Republic of China that lost power to the communist government in 1949. The bonds aren’t recognized by China’s current government and have no investment value.

    a little nuance is in order; these bonds were discussed here, https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/taiwan-numba-one.278895/page-15, w a little more context

    many investors from UK/France/Belgium/Portugal/Spain have been able to redeem these bonds
