These are features shared with traditional Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes. This paper describes the growth of such schemes, their subsequent collapse, and the policy response of regulators, and presents key policy lessons. The analysis and recommendations draw on country experiences in the Caribbean, and in such diverse countries as the United States, Colombia, Lesotho, and Albania. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/09/95. 606 $aSecurities fraud$zCaribbean Area 606 $aCommercial crimes$zCaribbean Area 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSecurities fraud 615 0$aCommercial crimes 676 $a332.45 700 $aCarvajal$b Ana$0971052 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464075503321 996 $aPonzi schemes in the Caribbean$92488560 997 $aUNINA
