Gossip Report

The third house in this week’s Gossip Report is connected to an infamous episode of local history. Legendary swindler Charles Ponzi, the source of the popular term for a pyramid scheme, bought and lived in it for about six weeks before his arrest in 1920. The other local address connected to Ponzi: 27 School St. in downtown Boston, where he cooked up the crooked enterprise on the fifth floor, upstairs from what today is a popular bar, Scholars.
