Unraveled



A Look Inside of Man who has stolen millions of dollars
It was really interesting to hear the a story of fraud on wall street from the man who committed the crimes. I found his explanations fascinating. He seems to have convinced himself that it was easier to keep lying to everyone and stealing more and more money than to stop and tell the truth. I liked the interviews with Drier who clearly loved to talk. This documentary made me realize that the people who commit these crimes are real people who get caught up in a lifestyle and will do anything to keep climbing. It kind of answers the questions of how could some do this and steal all of this money. It was very compelling and I was never bored with the story. Very good and highly recommended.

I have told everyone I know to watch this!
Let me first say, I don't feel sorry for these guys who rip people off, but this story is a great one. Talk about a dude that wanted to live up to the highest expectations of his family, peers, and society. This brilliant prominent lawyer and elitist guy felt pressures that he couldn't handle and resorted to the dumbest thing of all, ripping people off to pay himself- the age old crime. Most of the movie takes place in his 10 million dollar New York Apartment that overlooks Manhattan (unreal views). I would highly recommend watching this movie, I do feel a little guilty for paying to watch this movie on Amazon, hopefully my 3 dollars doesn't get back to this guy in any way. A great preview of this movie, in parts, is a segment that 60 minutes did a couple months ago, worth checking out if you are still "on the fence" of whether to watch or not.

Interesting
This is an intriguing documentary about the life of someone truly despicable. Even today he seems to not fully grasp what he did was wrong. The thoroughly unlikable character but this is interesting as he describes his crime and how it unfolded.
