We use a first order differential linear equation to describe the dynamics of an investment scheme that promises more than it can deliver (a Ponzi scheme). The model is based on (i) a promised, unrealistic, rate of return, (ii) the rate at which new investments are gathered, and (iii) the withdrawal rate. We establish the parameters that lead to the scheme’s collapse.
