There can be no doubt that the dismantling of Ponzi Schemes is a good thing although the loss experienced by so many will linger for a long time. Reports are that some marriages have been destroyed; some persons have committed suicide; and some have encountered economic losses from which they are unlikely to recover. While some investors were waiting patiently and anxiously to see the promised returns, heads of these schemes were living lavish life-styles completely out of sync with the real world and it was full time the society was forced to take a candid look at what was taking place. But having taken that candid look what do we do. Like the exiles of ancient Israel and most people in every generation and every society do when the bottom drops out of life we can either write poetry or history or both, or engage in an analysis of what occurred and seek, with courage and insight, to draw the lessons.
