Public.com disclosure: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of

individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more

How a Scam Spreads Aug 20, 2023

A good scam works like a magic trick. There’s a beautiful, complex story being sold, but the truth is disappointingly simple.

The Oman Ghana Trust Fund raised hundreds of millions of dollars. Investors hoped their money would help unlock Ghana’s inheritance and billions of dollars worth of gold. Many were sold 10-to-1, even 100-to-1 returns on this promise. Yepoka Yeebo is the author of “Anansi’s Gold: The Man Who Looted the West, Outfoxed Washington, and Swindled the World.” Ricky Mulvey caught up with Yeebo to discuss: - How a scammer builds credibility. - The investor biases can lead someone to be defrauded. - How the money in the trust fund scam’s scheme actually disappeared.
