In the world of crime, it could be argued that financial criminals are the true supervillains. While their acts usually don’t involve much violence, the greed of one person or company can cause damage on an unimaginable scale, affecting huge groups of people or even nations. Just take a look at the Enron or 1MDB scandals.
As huge impact as financial crimes are, however, they are not always very cinematic. It’s not easy to make shady corporate transactions or account falsifying riveting on film. And this goes double for scenes of corporate trials: watching the laws of banking and tax evasion in action can be hard for a layman to follow.
