MAY LOSE HEAYILY
Fifty Cents on Dollar Expected to Be
.Maximum.
LIABILITIES ARtE $7,000,000
Defendant Smiles at Query Regarding
International Postal Coupons
Boston, Aug. 24.-A payment of less
than fifty cents on the dollar to the
creditors of Charles Ponzi's quick
rich scheme, if oflicial estimates of his
liabilities are correct was indicated
by his statement of assets at the re
ceiver's hearing today. Assuring the
federal receivers that he had dis
closed all he knew Ponzi told of as
sets which Robert G. Dodgr, counsel
for the receivers, declared were "not
ivorth anywheer near $3,000,000." The
official , estimate of his li- bilities,
made after an audit of his accouiits,
stands at $7,000,00. l'onzi said he
thought this was in error. lie elpimed
that he was solvent and had nea1ly
four mililons of asset-s to meet his
liabilities, which le set at three mil
lions. The hearing was stormy at
times. Daniel 11. Coakley, counsel for
Ponzi, surrendered to the receivers to
assist in meeting creditor(s' ektims
checls for $25,000 each, which ha
been given to him and to Daniel V
IMlcIsaae., associate counsel, as retnin -
ing fees. lie snid .th-it when he tool
the mo1-onaey he thoug-ht l',onzi was a
millionaire, but that now he wante
everythink to go to the creditors.
