American Greed

To the Houston community J. David Salinas has it all. He's a successful financial advisor rubbing shoulders with famous NCAA basketball coaches across the country. He donates generously to local colleges and runs a well-respected youth basketball league. But when a loyal lieutenant betrays him to save his own skin, Salinas' world crumbles under the weight of a $39 million scam. As the feds close in, Salinas commits suicide-but investigators quickly realize that's not the end of this story. / Eric "Chicago Blaxican" Jaglicic is a wannabe Chicago-area rapper with big dreams. But when his music ambitions stall, Jaglicic convinces a local businessman that he's got a new gig - producing a Hollywood movie with comedian Adam Sandler. Jaglicic and his new partner, Brian Falatovich, will collect $1.2 million from star-struck suburban investors lured by promises of huge returns. But there is no movie, and Jaglicic instead embarks on a wild spending spree, complete with strippers, sharks and two alligators he hopes to smuggle into his crawlspace. But this rappers' delight soon sours when angry investors realize they've been had and demand their money back.
