The King of All Ponzis: Bernie Madoff is a three-chapter nonfiction forensic series that breaks down the rise and destruction of the largest Ponzi scheme in modern financial history. Told in a clear, cinematic documentary style, the series follows the arc from Madoff’s carefully built reputation to the decades-long deception that devastated investors around the world.

Chapter 1 reveals how Madoff used charm, steady returns, exclusivity, and industry prestige to shield himself from scrutiny. Chapter 2 exposes the widening cracks—whistleblower warnings, regulatory failures, and the growing pressure that tested the scheme. Chapter 3 delivers the hard collapse: the confession to his sons, the federal investigation, the guilty plea, the sentencing, and the global fallout that reshaped financial oversight.

Across all three chapters, the series stays tightly factual, emotionally grounded, and focused on the human cost behind the numbers. It is the story of trust, complacency, power, and the catastrophic consequences of believing a legend who never deserved the title.
