騙術大師的自白：我如何騙走投資者5,000萬美元

The fraud relied on deep psychological manipulation, including emotional appeals and false claims of institutional backing (e.g., Lloyd’s of London).

要點

• Paul Regan operated a multi-million dollar fraud scheme by promising investors risk-free, high-yield returns through fake insurance guarantees and fabricated institutional backing.
• He used psychological manipulation, including empathy, religious appeals, and creating a sense of elite group belonging, to exploit vulnerable clients, especially retirees and disabled individuals.
• Investor Psychology and Financial Fraud are key themes in this case.
• The scheme involved a Ponzi structure where later investors’ funds were used to pay early investors’ returns, with no actual investment in gold, health insurance, or any tangible asset.
