@storypulze: this story is about Arlan Galbraith, the Canadian farmer who ran a $42 million Ponzi scheme… selling pigeons. 🐦💰 Not stocks. Not crypto. Pigeons. Arlan convinced hundreds of investors that his “super pigeons” were genetically superior, could be sold overseas, and would make them rich. He even claimed he sold pigeons to Mike Tyson to boost credibility. For years, farmers bought pigeons, raised babies, and sold them back to Arlan — all part of a classic Ponzi scheme. The scam expanded into the U.S., included pigeon meat (squab), and raked in millions… until Ontario’s Better Farming magazine exposed the truth. By 2009, Arlan was arrested, investors lost $42 million, and one of the strangest financial scams in history came to an end. Watch to learn how a simple farm hobby turned into a multi-million dollar fraud, and the shocking lengths people went to believe in it. #crime #truecrimestories #crimestory #realcrimestory
