WATCH: “MADOFF: The Monster on Wall Street” Trailer on Netflix

“What profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?”

Today was a Netflix and chill kind of day so I caught up on this riveting limited series about disgraced Wall Street financier Bernie Madoff.

The three part documentary throughly chronicled Madoff’s early life leading up to him becoming one of Wall Street’s richest investors known for running the largest known Ponzi scheme in history, worth an estimated $65 billion.

The fallout from Madoff’s financial fraud crimes was beyond catastrophic, not only for his innocent victims — most of whom lost their entire life savings, but for his own family. Madoff recruited his two sons and his brother to work alongside him in the business but they all denied knowing about the fraud. His sons would eventually be responsible for turning him into authorities.

In the end both his sons died. One son committed suicide and the other son died of cancer shortly after his father’s conviction.

Three months after former reality TV personality Brittish Williams was sentenced for fraud, her ex-boyfriend is also accused of schemes connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Williams was arrested last week after failing to report to federal prison in West Virginia.

Less than a week after her surrender, the news broke that Williams’ ex boyfriend former professional basketball player Lorenzo Gordon, has now been charged with his own set of financial crimes.

Gordon, who frequently flashed large stacks of cash on his social media, was charged with three counts of wire fraud and one count of theft of government property. He is accused of lying on COVID-19 business relief applications about how long he had operated two businesses, how much money they made, and whether he was the sole owner of a janitorial company.
