00:00I can't ask a pathological liar for his life story and expect him to tell me the truth, right?

00:06I know you.

00:07I'm the guy.

00:11What I knew about Zack was very limited.

00:13I had heard he was an actor.

00:15As an actor I feel like you don't want people to know who Zack is as a person.

00:19We can just tell the truth. We can just tell the cops what happened.

00:22There are times watching this when his lines are like he's speaking directly to the story we're telling.

00:27He's going to Berlin Film Festival and Cannes.

00:30Just kind of living the dream.

00:32But of course this is all just a huge lie.

00:37Actor Zachary Joseph Horwitz is agreeing to plead guilty to a 650 million dollar Ponzi scheme.

00:43That's a staggering amount of money.

00:45Turn around. Get down on your knees.

00:47I was hoping that Zack would talk to me so he could tell his side of the story for the film.

00:50No. Absolutely not.

00:53He was putting money from the Ponzi scheme into the movies to get the producers to cast him.

00:59200,000 dollars for a small role.

01:03What? Who is this guy?

01:06Zack wanted to be famous but unfortunately for Zack he's a pretty terrible actor.

01:15I could tell from the beginning that it was going to be a juicy one.

01:18It was Hollywood, a huge amount of money.

01:20All for the purchase of movie rights that weren't real.

01:24How could he possibly have done something this outlandish?

01:28It's too easy. It's too easy.

01:30He was flying private jets.

01:327 million dollars on the American Express card.

01:34700,000 dollars for interior design.

01:36This guy is a super villain.

01:38Where is that money now?

01:40The FBI was on the case. The SEC was on the case.

01:43He's going to take all the money and run.

01:45He knew what he was doing from the start.

01:47Our secret, okay?

01:49You had to realize that at some point the whole thing was going to collapse.

01:55You're nervous because it's like, are they going to find out that I'm this fraud the whole time?
