Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Minkow founded Fraud Discovery Institute after prison, then was arrested for securities fraud AGAIN in 2011—making this film's 'redemption' narrative comically premature.
The movie was partially crowdfunded and starred several actors who'd worked with Minkow's church connections, making the production itself a Minkow-style networking scheme.
