Moreover, we reflect the damage caused to people who invest their financial means in these schemes, but also on the economy of the states. A fortiori, the proper functioning of the system and the fight against crime in this area depend on the effective adoption and application of the legal-criminal norms.roPonzi schemefinancial fraudrate of returnexorbitant rateinvestorsdepositsArticle
