I just watched a new show called "Masterminds" about criminal masterminds and today's show was about crazy eddie. I moved from New Jersey in 1979 so I never really heard about the rackerteering charges that eddie was accused of. I was a little surprised because when I left NJ the store's were being advertised all the time. Did anyone else see this program?

Yeah I finally caught this episode too...the show's timeline seems a bit out of sorts, interesting though.

Re:

You are correct. Also some of the events were simplified. However, overall the show was accurate despite some minor mistakes.

The reason was that the show was produced by Canadians (Red Apple Entertainment) who did not know the story and had to be educated from scratch about the events and issues.

In addition, it is difficult to explain 18 years of fraud and 6 years of investigation of a highly complicated crime in just 22 minutes of air time.

All said, Red Apple did a very good job.

To get a complete picture I suggest you go to my web page and read Judge Ackerman's Opionion in the SEC Civil case and download the Crazy Eddie chapter of Frankenstein's of Fraud from this web site.
