Richard Dreyfuss plays the Ponzi scheme mastermind and Blythe Danner plays his wife Ruth in the miniseries.

Madoff’s crimes — believed to be the largest fraud in U.S. history — captured the public’s attention in the winter of 2008-2009, starting with his arrest in December and continuing through his guilty plea in March.
