“Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow” Proverbs 13:11 (NIV).
In our lesson this week we studied three different men; the first being Benjamin Franklin, the second, Charles Dow, and the third, Charles Ponzi. For the Scripture I chose this week, I am going to use Benjamin Franklin and Charles Ponzi as examples. The first part of this Scripture says, “Dishonest money dwindles away”.
This is definitely the story of Charles Ponzi, who immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1903. The Ponzi scheme, named after Charles Ponzi after he became famous for his ill-gained money. After starting the scheme in 1920, it took Ponzi only six months to become a well-known millionaire in Boston, Massachusetts.
