Dh found this on Netflix the other day.
Fascinating documentary series about his massive Ponzi scheme - I remember reading about it at the time - something like $50 billion - and how he kept it going even though several people thought that if something looked too good to be true (e.g. 15% returns!) it probably was, but nothing was done until the crash made it impossible for him to keep it going.

Watched the last episode just now. Unbelievable what he got away with for so long - and how, despite specific warnings, the official financial regulators did nothing! So many thousands of people lost everything, and the fallout caused tragedy in innocent members of his family, too.
