Sarah Howe (fraudster)

Sarah Emily Howe (c. 1826 – January 26, 1892) was an American fraudster who operated several Ponzi schemes in the 1870s and 1880s, most famously the Ladies' Deposit Company of Boston. Howe was arrested in 1880 and imprisoned for three years for fraud, but upon her release she repeated similar frauds until she was arrested again in 1888.
