Ponzi did jail time for his scheme, yet Roosevelt is revered as the one of the greatest presidents.

“Ponzi did jail time for his scheme, yet Roosevelt is revered as the one of the greatest presidents.”

I take great exception to the second part of that sentence. FDR was an avowed Socialist , bent on changing Capitalism into Communism.

He also was an abject failure in ending the Depression. After eight years in office, unemployment was HIGHER than the first year. If not for Pearl Harbor (which some claim he instigated, or at least knew about), he might have been defeated for a fourth term.

You just can’t trust the RATS - none of them.
