Based on real events that occured in between 1980 and 1981. Dan Mahowney is a quiet, unassuming assistant manager at a bank in Toronto. He is a compulsive gambler and runs up a massive debt with his bookie. Dan's bank responsibilities include approving loans. Needing to cover his debts, Dan starts approving loans to non-existent clients and adding hundreds of thousands of dollars to other accounts. As Dan's debts begin to grow into the seven figure range, his dealings become harder to hide, both from the authorities and from Belinda.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

seen it before. Real life story, the late PSH great as always. submitted by Tassos on January 13, 2020, 8:13am This is a horror story that actually happened. A gambling addict wastes $10.2 mill in the early 80s of other people's money (in 2020 $, make it $50 mill) and only did 6 lousy years in jail at the end. Many were responsible and were also punished.
