The movie is called “Fake” and is based on the book by Jen McAdam which tells the true life story of Mc Adams’s involvement with the Onecoin Ponzi scheme. McAdam, family and friends invested and lost USD 300,000. Kate Winslet and Jen McAdam will executive produce the film. Scott Z. Burns, who wrote "Contagion", will write and direct “Fake”.
