The Wizard of Lies | Ponzi Schemes; The Players and The Victims

Reel Talk Extra (RTX)

This week we look at Ponzi schemes using "The Wizard of lies" as our lens. The movie chronicles the massive fraud pulled off by Bernie Madoff and the impact it had on his victims. We try to make sense of Bernie's motives, as well as understand why people fall prey to the activities of people like Bernie and Ponzi schemes as a whole.
