No, this is not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme involves multiple investors where money received from new investors is paid to previous investors to produce the illusion of good investment performance.

Also, personal casualty and theft losses of an individual sustained in a tax year beginning after 2017 are deductible only to the extent they're attributable to a federally declared disaster.
