  1. It didn't take long for HBO to grab up this story & turn it into a piece of anti-capitalist propaganda.

  2. KM is correct.

    I wonder if all eight SEC investigations will each get some screentime?

    Who plays David Becker? And who plays Senator Chuck Schumer?

    Will the story follow whistleblower Harry Markopolos's account or some establishment line?

    According to Wikipedia on De Niro his politics are basically pro-Obama.

    Will it be timed for release before the election?
