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?
