Charles Pontl'a liabilities ns a result of his spectacular financial dealings through his Secur ities Exchango Co. stand nt 50,048,207, according to Edwin L. Pride, account ant employed by tho federal authorities to audit I'onzi'u accounts. Mr. Pride submitted his report to District Attor ney Daniel J. Gallagher lost night. That this may not bo tho final fig' uro, however, Is indicated by Mr. Pride's statement that because of Ponzi'n loose methods of accounting "it does not seem probable that the exact stnto of tho liabilities con bo deter mined on tho data at my disposal." The report tells of bis examination of stubs of notes issued by Ponzi and of notes canceled, redcomed or paid and continues ; "From this information, which com prises nearly -10,000 noteholders,, I was enabled to compile figures which pur ported to show for 0,077,448 cash re ceived there had been issued notes ag gregating $14,872,827. Giving him credit for all the notes turned over to me, amounting to $7,024,050, would leave his liability on notes to Investors outstanding 0,043,207." The report says no cash book was kept to show receipts and expenditures nnd that thcr,e Is not sufficient informa tion on the stubs of check books to show for the disbursements that were made, thousands of dollars having been paid out with only the memorandum "pny-1 ment due this day." "I have no assurance," tho report says, "that all the material necessary for a complete audit hus been turned over to me. In my opinion promissory notes were given to Mr. Ponzi for which he received no ca9h. Notes wero issued for double the amount of money pur porting to have been received by Ponzi." The nuditor says It Is extremely diffi cult to determlup the exact amounts of original Investments, because many noteholders "pyramided," letting their money with tho accumulated interest remnln with Ponzi Instend of taking up their notes nt maturity and many others took up their notes but reinvested tho interest received.
