Current Ponzi Schemes & Reference Information

1. Gurudeo “Buddy” Persaud

Ponzi Scheme Information

  • Orlando broker
  • astrology-based investment methods
  • reportedly told his clients that he would be investing their money in debt, stock, futures, and real estate markets. In reality, he has subscribed to the idea that gravitational forces affect human behavior and, in turn, the stock market
  • worked with at least 14 investors between July 2007 and January 2010 and according to the SEC complaint, he told them that the fund was risk-free.
  • he misappropriated around $415,000 — nearly half of the investment money — for his own personal use. The claim goes on to say that Persaud worked in “typical Ponzi scheme fashion” by repaying earlier investors with money he brought in from new investors.
