Module two focuses on some of the theoretical approaches that criminologists use to help explain financial crimes occur (as well as crime in general).
The module also focuses on Ponzi schemes. Your Task:
Hypothetically, the bank of Canada has approached you to write a case study focusing on the crimes of Earl Jones that they can distribute to their financial advisors in order to inform them about Ponzi schemes.
Your case study should address the following questions (do not list the question numbers in your case study. Write in full paragraphs).
1. How does a Ponzi scheme work? What elements are needed for a Ponzi scheme to continue to work? (Your textbook will help answer this question)
2. Describe Earl Jones early life. Did you find anything odd that might have contributed to his criminal behaviour later in life?
3. How did Earl Jones’ Ponzi scheme work?
4. Why was Jones able to con the people he did? What type of people did he target and what made them the ideal victims

6. Does the punishment that Earl Jones received fit his crimes? Did his victims get closure from the outcome? In comparison to the punishment given American Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff does Jones’ sentence seem appropriate?
