Discovery Plus "King of the Con" The Barry Minkow Sit Down with Michael Franzese

Today's sit down is special because Michael will be sharing the screen with a long-time friend, Barry Minkow.

Barry is a former businessman and felon. While still in high school, he founded ZZZZ Best, a highly successful carpet cleaning and restoration company. It was a huge Ponzi scheme. It collapsed in 1987, costing investors and lenders $100 million. It's often used to teach accounting fraud.

For a time, Minkow was a pastor and fraud investigator in San Diego. In 2011, he admitted to lowering the stock price of homebuilder Lennar and received a five-year sentence. After defrauding his own church three years later, he got five years. To make amends for his crimes, he must pay $612 million in restitution over his lifetime.
