Subsequent episodes explored a range of topics, from the Panama Papers scandal to the insider trading ring run by corporate executive Mark Cuban. The season finale, "Chain Reaction," examined the fallout from the 2016 Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal, which left millions of customers affected and the bank facing a costly regulatory overhaul.
Throughout the season, director and writer, Mark Monroe, has once again expertly woven together complex narratives, drawing on exclusive interviews with key players, and using computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring the schemes to life in a way that’s both informative and engaging.
Throughout the three seasons, Dirty Money has received widespread acclaim for its unique approach to storytelling and its ability to shed light on some of the darkest corners of the financial world. The show has earned numerous awards, including an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Informational Series, and has been praised by critics for its "unflinching examination of the most egregious financial crimes."
