Now May Be the Perfect Time

I have to tell you, I have given this considerable thought. I have always been interested in Ponzi schemes and the people behind them. While they are all dirty, rotten, low-down scoundrels, the stories of what they did and how they remained under the radar for decades before getting caught fascinates me. I always thought, what if they had just a FEW legitimate things going on, maybe they could have somehow closed the gaps and actually gotten away with it. Maybe some do this and that's why we don't know about the successful actors? But one thing strikes me about all of these cases, and that is that it took decades for them to get caught. 30-40 years in most cases. The thing is, they all started young and got caught in their 50s and 60s. Some a little later depending on when they started their Ponzi schemes of course. I think this thought poses an interesting opportunity. I am 51. If I have at least 30 years before I get caught, that would make me 81. I guess at that point, if I live that long, jail would not be so bad. I am thinking now might be the perfect time to start my own Ponzi scheme. What do you think? Good idea or bad idea?
