Everyone wants to be rich, but some people will stop at nothing. ""American Greed"", CNBC's six-part primetime series, focuses on how greed changes people's lives. This unprecendented original primetime series begins with story of a skilled fisherman and expert Ponzi scam artist angling for big money and reeling them in - luring over 50 local investors into a promising start-up, taking approximately $2 million. The schemes continue with art theft, including behind-the-scenes footage from inside a West Hollywood heist that is still on the FBI's top 10 list of art crimes. Narrated by actor Stacy Keach, ""American Greed"" continues with medical scams, religious fraud, bank heists, and identity theft.  Awarded the Excellence in Public Awareness Award by the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association, ""American Greed"" should be required viewing for anyone looking to protect themselves from the dark side of the American Dream.
