Deep dives
The Ponzi Scheme Structure
The podcast discusses how the fraudster, Ambar Dalal, allegedly defrauded investors through a classic pyramid or Ponzi scheme. The scheme involved promising high returns, creating a facade of credibility by showcasing expertise in trading, initiating a cycle of returns to entice more investors, relying on word of mouth referrals for new investments, and maintaining a low profile to avoid detection. Dalal managed to sustain this scheme for around 14 years under the guise of Ritz Consultancy Services Company.
Regulatory Oversight and Investors' Hope
The episode mentions the ongoing investigation led by the EOW and the questions raised about regulatory oversights by entities like Sebi. Despite skepticism from some investors who believed in Dalal's investment acumen rather than viewing it as a Ponzi scheme, authorities have invoked the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act to potentially recover funds through seizing Dalal's properties. Investors are anxiously awaiting the unraveling of the situation, hopeful for the return of their investments amidst the legal proceedings and asset seizures.
