There is a book called "Ponzi's Scheme: The True Story of a Financial Legend" that is a pretty good read. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys non-fiction.

Came here to recommend this book! The Audible recording is fantastic too (it’s how I first read it about 12 years ago).

The story is both of Ponzi and the newspaper man that took him down. The two men had a lot of parallels but ultimately ended up very differently.
