Fraud Night at the Movies: American Hustle

Every so often this blog recommends films which have fraud or con artists as a theme.  Last year's Academy Award nominee and winner, American Hustle, is highly recommended.

       Loosely based on the ABSCAM scheme of the FBI which ensnared several Congressmen accepting bribes from a so-called Arab Sheikh in the late 70's, the film is more about the incredible self-confidence con men have in pursuit of their schemes.

     Check it out if you have the chance.
