| Madoff Doc on Netflix In Time of SBF
But No Secret Suretors in 2011 Why For SBF
in 2023?

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 4 - When the
documentary "Madoff: The
Monster of Wall Street"
dropped on Netflix on January
4, it was the day after his
successor Sam Bankman-Fried
had pleaded not guilty and
demanded that the information
and even names of his bond
co-signers be withheld from
the public.
Inner City
Press immediately filed
opposition to Bankman-Fried's
secrecy request, on January 3;
on January 4, it watched the
just-released Madoff
documentary by Joe
Berlinger.
It has
aerial shots of Palm Beach,
like Netflix's Jeffrey Epstein
(and Ghislaine Maxwell)
documentaries. It has
re-enactments, including of
action on the 17th floor of
the Lipstick Building on Third
Avenue.
But,
understandably given the
lead-time of such project, it
does not mention Bankman-Fried
or FTX.
But we
will.
Even Madoff
had his bond co-signers
information public - in PACER
Inner City Press found the
December 11, 2008 bond,
approved by then Assistant US
Attorney Marc Litt.
This is an
ever-expanding genre. On the
(lightly) fictionalized front,
there's been Billions. On the
German tip, there's the
Wirecard spoof "King of
Stonks."
Inner City Press,
which published booklets on
Trevor Milton and Roger Ng of
Jho Low fund, is now working
on one about Bankman-Fried.
But there is
definitely something to be
learned from Madoff: The
Monster of Wall Street. We
recommend it.
