There are numerous examples of potentially illegal activities featured in the film. These activities may include actions, affirmative statements, omissions and/or schemes. Some of the activities may constitute fraud, as discussed in class and in Chapter 11 of the textbook.

Analyze one such activity from a legal perspective and determine whether the victims would prevail against the perpetrators in a court of law. First, identify the potentially illegal activity, including a brief description of the parties involved and how the activity worked. Then, based on what you have learned in class and from the textbook, identify the rule of law that the activity might violate, defining the rule and its elements.
