## Resource

Paul Regan promised investors sky-high returns guaranteed for a decade—until it turned out to be a $50 million Ponzi scheme. What makes it even more chilling? He recorded himself ripping off victims, apparently teaching other scammers how to do it. A master manipulator, he preyed on greed and fear, switching between charm and menace to build trust. These raw recordings expose the psychological tactics behind one of the most sophisticated frauds ever, a stark warning that too-good-to-be-true deals rarely are.
