I really liked this episode of American Greed from CNBC, although I could not watch the whole episode. It is about a counterfeit money bandit, that had an schizofrenic mother, and ...*spoilers taken out*... he is a thief, but he sure tried not to hurt people.
The narrative is funny sometimes, the trailer included. Also the episode page has some interesting resources about counterfeit money.
Sometimes I think many criminals just want a happy family life... It is their ways that are criminal... and so they lose their chance of happiness.
