Before achieving fame as a billionaire and Shark Tank investor, Mark Cuban resorted to running a Ponzi scheme during college to finance his education. In his early 1980s dorm room at Indiana University, Cuban organized a 'chain letter,' asking individuals to contribute $100, with a promise of eventual returns as names cycled through the list.
