The book was printed by the Pacific Printing Company in New York in 1937, who refused to release the first 1000 copies until receiving payment from Ponzi. He appealed to the American public for $235 to pay the publishing fees, since “I haven’t got a cent. ...I’m sure there must be someone in the United States who would be willing to pay the bill for me.” He eventually found an angel investor and the book was released in 1938. Ponzi offered a second book, titled “The Fall of Mr. Ponzi,” but it was never published. Ponzi died destitute in Brazil in 1949. $4,200.00 FIRST EDITION RARE BOOKS SPRING 2022
