Unclear scam

Ponzi schemes have existed for almost 100 years. With the development of capitalism, Ponzi schemes have become one of the three ways of financing. Various techniques for packaging Ponzi schemes have also emerged. It's a typical story. The victims of the Ponzi scheme also include ordinary people and capital institutions. No matter who they are, their original intention is to be greedy and profit-seeking. Bernie’s scam has many clever features, such as the endorsement of his resume and the non-exaggerated rate of return. In the film, he is only narrated after he was exposed by his son, describing the life changes faced by him and his family. Without telling the story of his concocting the scam, I think it is the reason why the film is not attractive enough.
