An empirical research was conducted in West Bengal, India (2023), to check if Ponzi victims are psychologically more biased towards decisional vulnerabilities. Three psychometric tests were run and scored on Likert scale - general trust (6 questions), deferment of gratification (12 questions) and self regulation (21 questions). Tests were also run on a control group (n=58) and a group of agents (n=202) who collected money for the scams, apart from the depositors/victims (n = 91). The scores for each test were aggregated and have been presented in descending order.
