5 A ‘Get Rich Fast’ Scheme

Paul Sr. doesn’t look like someone people would want to have around. Paul Sr. was an outspoken and vocal cast member of “American Chopper.” Some unhappy investors claim that he wanted to enter the restaurant business in 2011. He was at the height of his reality TV fame. But Paul Sr. was then accused of running a Ponzi Scheme.

Ponzi schemes are where investors in companies make money from business profits. But, the money actually comes from other investors. This creates a vicious circle where investors get paid with the money of other investors, even though profits might not be coming from the business. Paul Sr. could be in serious trouble for making this allegation.
