Spoilers ahead

Charlie Wright (played by Aidan Quinn) sits at the center of a sprawling financial empire that, on the surface, resembles a legitimate business but is actually a colossal Ponzi scheme, siphoning as much as eleven billion dollars from unsuspecting clients. The revelation of his fraud shakes the room, and as news of his looming punishment spreads, Wright exits his office only to be blocked by FBI Agent Hobbs (played by Mario Van Peebles). With no warrant in hand, Hobbs stalls to buy time, then secures the proper paperwork, while his partner Jimmy (played by Jordan Belfi) closes in and intercepts Wright as he pulls out of the office garage.
