Lords of Scam (Netflix)

This piece has been described as 'boring' by several reviewers. I'll give them credit for Lords of Scam being a tad too long.

But the story of a band of brothers/scammers, some of them basically finance-illiterate, defrauding the CO2 ('carbon') trading market by over Є1 Bn (a billion Euros) with simple VAT schemes, is nonetheless fascinating.

As their illicit wealth grows jealousies begin to foster, resulting in a few vicious murders and leading to arrests and several lengthy prison sentences (but not for murder) Of the money, only about Є250 Mln was ever recovered...

Watch it and learn!
