The wolf in sheep's clothing
The success of American Crime Story and The Mind Hunter has led to an unprecedented rise in the popularity of crime dramas based on real events. Producers Brian Medavoy and Erwin More will take an example from the creators of these TV hits and prove that the truth is really worse than any fiction. Emmy winners will shed light on the case of notorious financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Some time ago, the banker was removed from a flight at Teterboro airport and handed over to FBI agents. It is expected that Wall Street tycoons will receive several charges at once on suspicion of child sex trafficking. More / Medavoy decided not to wait for a court decision and tell about Epstein's dark deeds. Medavoy and Mohr acquired the rights to film the book TrafficKing by renowned human rights activist Conchita Sarnoff. For many years, Epstein was considered a respected member of the community and a generous philanthropist. However, some journalists have always treated the public image of the billionaire with a fair amount of skepticism, since he often spent time in the company of persons involved in all kinds of sex scandals - from former US President Bill Clinton to actor Kevin Spacey.  In 2008, Jeffrey was suspected of seducing a 14-year-old girl and human trafficking. Soon, information appeared on the Web that the banker was involved in sexual crimes against another 35 minor children. The rich man's lawyers overplayed the prosecution and reduced the case to articles related to participation in prostitution. As a result, Epstein got off by registering as a sex offender and only 13 months in prison. Sarnoff decided to tell the world about the blatant error of the judicial system. Her book was published in 2016 and revealed many secrets of the financier. Conchita's investigation helped reopen the sex trafficking case and bring new charges against Epstein.  The More / Medavoy management has not yet decided on the format of the film adaptation: fans of the criminal genre will either have a TV movie or a mini-series.
