This model is named for the person shown in the first visual. The person shown in the second visual perpetrated the largest instance of this model in history. The person in the third visual fell victim to it and in fact, killed himself last month. Identify all people. Note: The word model might not describe the answer best but is used here for reasonable obfuscation.Answer: The people are Charles Ponzi, an Italian swindler at the turn of the 20th century, Bernard Madoff, former chairman of NASDAQ who was arrested last December for investor fraud and the French billionaire Rene-Thierry Magon de Villehuchet who committed suicide after he lost all his money to Madoff. The connect ofcourse is the Ponzi scheme, a form of pyramid scheme first successfully pulled off by Ponzi himself. Vijay, Sinndhuja, Arvind, Hirak, Raghu, Manix, Anshul, Iam (who also laments my unfortunate choice of words), Divya, Swapnaa, Rajesh and Adi (barely in time :)) got it. Well done.

Dinki
For a Man-o-mathematics like you the term is X Y Z, Alpha Beta Gamma
For the Jack Black inclined it is Thingy
For the Monty Python inclined it is Spam
For the geeky, it is Foobar
By the way none of these killed that poor guy. They are suggested replacements for model.
Coz for most people, model = Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and the one without a navel u-know-who
And most of them are lethal!!!
Ponzi Scheme
Bernard Madoff
René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet
Ponzi and Madoff are the first two.
I wonder who the last one is - the access international advisors (AIA) guy that committed suicide? I could not find a picture of his, to check whether it's him, but that's my guess.
1. Charles Ponzi
2. Bernard Madoff (apt name, unbelievable expression, grr..)
3. Thierry de la Villehuchet
All three of them provide extremely interesting reads.

Connect - Ponzi scheme
Ponzi Scheme (according to wikipedia, a Dickens novel described it first).
First visual is Ponzi, second is Madoff, third René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuche (though I cannot find a picture of him. Wikipedia's link gives http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aZ1dnq3VWwOs&refer=news which does not look like what you have at all.
