Harvey Weinstein

As a producer, Harvey Weinstein has made some of the best films in the industry. He and his brother, Bob, are the investors and founders behind Miramax, which produced films like Heavenly Creatures, Shakespeare in Love, and Pulp Fiction. He was asked to leave the company later because lawyers filed several cases in court against him, and he now serves a sentence.

Apart from losing legal cases, Weinstein was also the victim of Kenneth Starr, who ran a Ponzi scheme and defrauded other celebrity clients such as Carly Simon, Sylvester Stallone, and Tom Brokaw. These personalities filed the necessary lawsuits, but it is not clear how they can recover the money and whether Starr has the money to give out in the first place. This incident would have served as a lesson for anyone to be cautious when trusting someone else with their hard-earned money.
