was printed today. All walks of life were
there-men and women of the professions,
Of business and of labor. 1t is estimated

Others are relying on Fedefai receivers to

Ponzi in the hope of recouping their
broken fortunes: n wealthy spinster was
there, building contractor, business men
of high standing sporting promoter,
soldiers, real estate dealers, manufacturers
police inspectors and the ordinary laboler
in large numbers.
The appearance of the list brought
denials from many of those whose names
appeared.
The investments noted ranged from
S25 to s53 1873, the latter being attributed
to a man associated with Ponzi as an
