The Lords of Scam is a 105-minute documentary film directed by Guillaume Nicolaus. First of all, thank you for the film and not the great series. For those of you, like me, who do not have financial fraud and the like, the length is God-given.
The Lords of Scam is mainly focused on Mardoche Mouly, who was recently released from prison. He says he is grateful for the time he was arrested; however, as the film begins, he will be confused about whether the man regrets what he may have done. Seven years in a French prison is no easy task; I am convinced. So why did he go to jail? Well, that too is confusing. We meet his friends and continue his day with him. Mouly discusses his connections with these people and their childhood memories. However, one thing is still up – who is this man, and what did he do?
The film is slowly slipping into the story’s plot in the next few minutes and Mouly’s characters with a significant theme. I’m not sure this should be fun, or it is, but still, it isn’t enjoyable. The thing is, the Lord of Scam snow course at first is a large extinguisher. It takes your wonderful time to let us know what he did. Instead, we spend a lot of time watching him show off his treasures.
Another point is that Mouly and everyone else starts pointing fingers at each other. All these people were part of the same scam. However, they all pretend to be bullies. While it is fun to watch thieves teasing one another, it is also frustrating. Arguing may only frustrate you.
Lords of Scam packs so much information in its limited working time that it is hard to keep up after a while. The documentary has a lot going on; on the one hand; there are Mouly and his colleagues constantly arguing. On the other hand, we are reading about the Kyoto Protocol and the melting glaciers of Greenland. You have to point out here that it will be difficult for those who do not feel strongly about financial scams and know nothing about the market. There are many technical terms, and none of them is easy to understand.
That being said, the Lord of Scam is picking up speed a little bit later, especially after a lot of subsequent mentions. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not fast in any way, but it gets better after a while. Despite that, the film sounds very dull. As it is, it does not make you feel any other way than the annoyance of the other characters. The scam is one of the most shocking, but everything is discussed a considerable lack.
In short, I mean, in a movie that focuses on financial corruption of this kind, you can expect the narrative to be quick. But everything about this movie is slow. It creates the background where the film stands firm; however, it cannot make it attractive enough to notice. If so, you may want to jump ahead on the green pastures. At least the background music is relevant to the story and how it is discussed.
The Lords of Scam is a relatively slow and “quiet” document that is one of the biggest scams in French history. The movie creates a solid foundation to stand on, but along the way, it loses a thrilling and exciting series. Still, for those who love money, it can be a daunting task.
From the ambitious goals of the 1992 Kyoto Protocol emerged the ability of European companies to buy and sell offsets at carbon emissions levels. But who collects taxes from a company that does not exist? Starting in 2008, a team of French opponents, business owners, and significant financiers launched a $ 100 billion Value Added Tax (VAT) program for trading within the European Union Emissions Trading System, and the money became so good. They have made very great use for one night with foolishness.

If you asked about his role in the scheme now, a several years ago of his 8-year-old bull in prison, Mardouche would laugh, shake his body, and say he was a fifth wheel, not a genius at all. “I’m going to the smell!’ criminal, a living Frenchman says. He grew up smart on the streets in the Paris area of Belleville, an uneducated immigrant from Tunis who learned to talk and the hustle and bustle. (“That is where I learned to be a tire salesman.”) And before long, he was a man in charge of a carbon-mining taxpayer operating worldwide.
The Lords of Scam talks to Marco in detail as he rides sports cars and courts about the city, all subject to the terms of his dismissal plan. We also meet friends and organizers, people like Greg Zaoui and Dominique Ghez, guys who will call Marco their BFF as soon as they make fun of him. “When Marco arrives, nothing always lasts.” The activities of his former colleague, wealthy businessman Arnaud Mimran, are described far and wide, as he also made time.
The team program mechanics are described as their timeline of deception, rising wealth, and collapsing with jealousy detailed investigations by authorities. Over the years, there has been a lot of finger-pointing and a reduction in the role; the feeling seems that the system has allowed their fraud, they paid a heavy price, and now they are moving forward. However, it is very difficult to reduce the unresolved killings of their two partners and billions and billions of euros on the financial damage their racket has caused the governments of France and other EU countries.
Chatterbox, comedian, brilliant tire dealer, lovable guy – no matter what you call him, whatever you call him, Lords of Scam never tires of emphasizing how great Marco Mouly is all at once. Oh, and he might be a killer tool. But come on! A man has to live for himself.
Bringing more than just his “Tunis” tricks to the Lords of Scam process, Marco Mouly is definitely the kind of person to build a documentary around it. With his broad nose and piercing eyes, long limbs full of the frame, and fond of side jokes, he had been busy on the road, spending large sums of money, and the current resident of La La Sante is in a dispute over what he does as he is for what he did not do.
