I recently stumbled across an article about Hulu’s new documentary, Mastermind, that had me completely hooked. The doc is all about the life of a man named Martin Frankel, who was a notorious investment scammer in the late 90s. The article detailed how Frankel managed to steal a whopping $200 million from various insurance companies, and then went on the run for years before being captured in Germany.
Since I have always found these types of crime stories fascinating, I was all ears. The article also mentioned that the documentary will include interviews with people who knew Frankel personally, and that it will delve into the psychology behind why someone would perpetrate such a massive fraud.
Personally, I think it’s always interesting to see how con artists think and operate, so I’m excited to watch this one. It’s crazy to think that there are people out there who are willing to lie and cheat their way to success, but I guess it’s just part of human nature.
All in all, I think this doc is going to be a must-watch for anyone who’s interested in true crime and the darker side of humanity. It’s always intriguing to get a glimpse into the mind of a master criminal, and I have a feeling this one is going to be particularly juicy.
