The Dreier Scam

Although the amount pales in comparison to Madoff's Ponzi scheme, this guy was a consummate con man, in an updated version reminiscent of Frank Abagnale of Catch Me If You Can fame.

By the way, if you haven't read Catch Me If You Can, it really is a fascinating and entertaining read. You can get it in paperback and I highly recommend it. The movie starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Abagnale and Tom Hanks as the FBI agent who pursues him. While the movie is quite good, it is definitely one of those cases where it is not as good as the book.
