Director: Unknown

Writer(s): Tanya Smith (book)

Starring: Unknown

Synopsis: The memoir tells Smith’s unbelievable story— of how a middle-class black girl from the North Side of Minneapolis would, in the words of the FBI, “become one of the single biggest threats to the entire United States banking system.” The film will follow her extraordinary story of creating a sophisticated wire fraud scheme and outwitting the FBI and prosecutors, who underestimated her intelligence for years, before her life ultimately fell apart, leading to two prison escapes and finally serving 13 years of a 24-year sentence – at the time, the longest sentence handed down to any white-collar criminal.

Release Date: Unknown | Length: Unknown | Genre: Crime, Drama | MPAA Rating: Unknown | Note(s): Original announcement. I couldn’t find a picture of Tanya Smith. All searches brought up pictures of Issa Rae, a producer on this project. Kevin Hart is also a producer on this project. I didn’t find this film listed under any of the above mentioned names on IMDB, so on the next expiration I’m changing the status to “Never Made”.
