Horay! I got a second one. One more than I ever expected, actually two more. I'm now tie with a stopped watch but way slower, it took me weeeeks to be right twice!. Charles Ponzi. I like the time period you chose the picture from Mooner. For me it was a clue, was it intended?

Damn, you're right, and so quickly! Charles Ponzi it is. He after whom the Ponzi Scheme is named. Bernie Madoff admitted his own much more colossal recent swindle was nothing but a huge Ponzi Scheme.

The period dress is more an half-accident stemming from my methods than a deliberate hint. I saw a photo of Ponzi in a 1920's straw boater hat, and I then went looking for silent movie photos. So I think I was semi-consciously influenced by the first to think of the second, but without deliberately trying to give a hint.
