  8. Text A-1 < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音 The PONZI Scheme A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that appears to be actually paying high returns by paying the supposed returns out of victim's own capital. It is named after Carlo Ponzi who ran a huge Ponzi scheme in the US in the 1920’s.

  9. Text A-2 A typical Ponzi scheme promises investors a high rate of returns in a short time. The money that is collected from investors is used to pay the returns. This means the fraud can run for some time, because investors appear to be making the promised returns. Early participants can profit, as they can with a pyramid scheme. However as the scheme needs more and more “investors” to keep joining, it is inevitable that it will eventually run out of people who are willing to join. The result is that the fraudster makes a large profit, people who join early also make profits, and those who join later lose their “investments”. < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音

  10. Text A-3 The easiest way to explain this is with an example. Suppose the scheme promises a return of 10% a month. The fraudster simply takes investors’ money and returns a tenth of it at the end of every month. The fact that investors appear to be getting the returns they were promised will encourage more people to put their money in the scheme, and even encourage the original wave of victims to reinvest. After ten months the fraudster will have returned all the money invested by the very first investors (assuming they did not reinvest), but will have most of the money invested by later investors. At this point the fraudster simply takes the money and disappear. < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音

  11. Text A-4 Common types of Ponzi scheme operate under a variety of names including “high yield investment program” and “high yield bonds”. Their common characteristics are very high returns with no clear underlying business to generate them. < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音

  12. Text A-5 More complex forms of Ponzi scheme can be harder to detect. They may well appear to be legitimate investments. They may even be part of an investment that includes both legitimate and Ponzi elements. An example of the latter is an investment company that offers very high returns to depositors, and does lend the money (as a real investment company would) to make returns, but does so knowing that the returns on loans will not suffice to cover the interest paid to depositors. < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音

  13. Text A-6 Anything that offers very high returns without correspondingly high risk should be regarded with great suspicion. Any investment sold through unusual channels (e.g., spam email or cold calling) or by a business that is not appropriatelyregulated (e.g., by a national regulator) is also both suspicious and probably illegal. It is usually possible to check with regulators whether someone selling investments is regulated or not. < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音

  14. A-Trans-1 < Back Reading A 庞氏骗局 庞氏骗局是一种看似高回报实际是以受害者自己的资金来支付应付报酬的投资骗局。它以卡罗·庞齐的名字命名，此人于20 世纪20 年代在美国策划组织了一场大规模的庞氏骗局。

  15. A-Trans-2 < Back Reading A 庞氏骗局承诺投资者在短期内获得高回报，而用来支付高额回报的资金却是从投资者那里筹集来的。这就意味着这种骗局可以支撑一段时间,因为投资者似乎得到了所承诺的回报。早期参与者能够获利，这与金字塔编局是一样的。然而，由于这种骗局需要越来越多“投资者”的不断加入,迟早有一天会出现不再有投资者愿意参与此项投资的情况。最终的结果就是行骗者能够获取丰厚利润，早期参与者也能获利，但后来的参与者却会失去他们的“投资”。

  16. A-Trans-3 < Back Reading A 一个例子就能清楚地说明此骗局是如何运作的。假设该骗局承诺每月10%的回报，行骗者收取投资者的资金，然后在每月月底拿出十分之一作为回报。投资者似乎得到了所承诺的回报，这就会鼓励更多的人把资金投入这一骗局，甚至还会诱使原来的投资者继续投资。十个月之后行骗者就会把第一批投资者的本金（假设他们没有再继续投资）全部归还，但此时行骗者已经得到了后期投资者的大部分资金，此时，行骗者便可以携款消失。

  17. A-Trans-4 < Back Reading A 常见的各种庞氏骗局通常冠以“高收益投资项目”或“高收益债券”等各式各样的名号,其共同特点就是高回报，但却没有支撑高回报的基础业务。

  18. A-Trans-5 < Back Reading A 一些更复杂的庞氏骗局较难识破。一些表面看来很像是合法的投资项目，一些则混合了合法投资与庞氏骗局的元素。举一个后者的例子，某投资公司向储户提供高额回报，他们会（像一个真正的投资公司那样）通过借贷来赚取利润，但他们很清楚贷款所获的收益不足以支付储户的利息。

  19. A-Trans-6 < Back Reading A 任何只有高回报而没有相应高风险的投资都很可疑。当一个投资项目是通过非正常渠道销售（如垃圾邮件或陌生推销电话），或由非正规监管（如接受国家监管机构的监管）的公司销售时，都应该受到质疑，而且很可能是非法的。通常可以去监管机构核查某个投资项目是否受到监管。
