description

The producers' synopsis of "American Greed" says simply, "Some people will do anything for money." Each episode demonstrates just how far the word "anything" can stretch to accommodate criminal mischief. Produced by Bill Kurtis productions and definitely imprinted with many of Kurtis's signature touches, "American Greed" has done several special in-depth reports on the "con of all cons," the Bernie Madoff scheme and his subsequent life behind bars. An equal opportunity exposer, "American Greed" has detailed the cunning manipulations and runaway narcissism that drove scandals at World.Com, Tyco, and HealthSouth. In between big-print headline stories, "American Greed" goes after "ordinary" frauds"”generally less costly but no less ingenious and flagrantly outrageous than the headline grabbers. Insurance frauds are common, as are fake doctors"”even fake surgeons. Not surprisingly, "American Greed" has revealed the wit and wickedness in all manner of nicely dressed Ponzi schemes, and the show has penetrated far deeper into sophisticated identity theft than any other investigative series. Perhaps most significantly, "American Greed" marks the first in a bunch of newsy and documentary programs produced exclusively for CNBC, as the struggling network attempts to reconcile its identity crisis with hard-hitting primetime programming to complement its daytime financial reporting.
