Secil Erzan A Turkish Ponzi Story

Seçil Erzan was born in 1976 in Çorlu and spent her teen years there. Çorlu is a big town in Tekirdag city and one of the biggest in Turkey. Then she graduated from the university with a degree in geology in İzmit. She worked in different branches of Denizbank, a mid size bank in Turkey, in Çorlu and in İstanbul. While she was working in those branches as the branch manager, she conducted her devious ploys: She got tens of millions of dollars from dozens of prominent people in a Ponzi Scheme. It is estimated that one fourth of that money disappeared in the transactions. She has a summer villa in Bozcaada. And now, she is in a prison in İstanbul. It seems that she will stay in prison for an unforeseen future.
