You want to read about an interesting life? Read this quick Wikipedia entry on Charles Ponzi. Halfway through the article I'm thinking to myself, "this would be an awesome movie." Seriously- think about how this guy fumbles his way from an odd job immigrant, to entrepreneur, and finally crossing over into biggest con artist of the century.

My guess is he wasn't always that bad of a guy. He just hit that point where he had to choose the light or dark path. He went dark. BIG TIME. What a great moment in the movie that would be. I guess there was a book optioned a few years back, but nothing ever came of it. Anybody know how to write a screenplay?
