SWINDLERS USE BLIND POOLS AS LURE FOR CASH Millions Being Fleeced by Promises of Easy Money Quick, By EDWARD A. SCHWAB, Chief Investigator, National Vigilance Committee, and Better Business Bureau for Eleven Years With Postoffice Inspection Service. NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Blind pools, very much akin to the notorious Ponzi swindle, still flourish in spite of the Ponzi fiasco and imprisonment.

Gullible people are still being fleeced of millions by this distinctive swindling scheme. A Blind pool is technically known ns a “participating syndicate,” or “discretionary pooL" Five such pools were closed by the authorities in #a single month. Yet others are now running in big

E. A. SCHWAB cities. I know of half a dozen in New York alone. Three In Baltimore at one time had no fewer than 6,000 members. The branch offiec of another blind pool which had five branches —took in 51,000,000 in a single year. The blind pool scheme is this: A firm advertises it will buy and sell any kind of bonds on the partial payment plan, the customer drawing interest on the whole principal from the beginning. Then the customers are told that a quicker way to make money is through the firm’s “participating syndicate.” High Dividend Offer Prospective clients are assured of from 20 per cent to 120 per cent in yearly dividends, payable monthly, by signing an agreement to pay the firm 30 per cent on their profits and giving the pool's agents full right to trade with their money as the agents see fit. Whether blind pool operators actually do any buying oi selling is a mystery’. They keep going by distributing in dividends a small percentage of the golden flow of money into the office. When something interferes with the enlistment of fresh "clients” the dividends cease, and the blind pool proprietors fade away with the bulk of the clients’ cash. Next: Subscription Rights.
