The first-ever Ponzi scheme, orchestrated by Charles Ponzi in 1919–1920, involved arbitraging international postal reply coupons. He promised investors exorbitant returns (50% in 45 days) by supposedly profiting from the price differences of these coupons across countries. However, instead of generating real profits, he paid earlier investors with funds from new ones, creating a fraudulent cycle that eventually collapsed.
