I haven't seen the 1st episode yet but I know the story. Looks like it could be really good. Story in link below if you don't mind spoilers.

 
Watched part 1 last night. I will say it was a lot better then a thought it would be. Also past me would have loved to party with that FBI agent.
 
This documentary has been great IMO. Can't wait for the finale Monday.
 
I still not completely sure, but I suspect the "confidential" source who called the FBI and tipped them off to the existence of Jerry Jacobson manipulating the Old McDonald's Monopoly game as a sort of mini-Ponzi scheme/wire fraud conspiracy was Frank Columbo, the brother of Jerry Colombo, the co-creator, sort of enforcer for Jacobson's Monopoly game scheme and helped hand-pick the winners of the game, mostly friends, and family members, relatives, cousins, associates.

Frank Colombo even when interviewed during this series acts like he has an axe to grind with Jacobson and his Simon Marketing associates, he even insinuates or Colombo's widow does that Jacobson may have had a role in having Jerry Colombo killed via an innocent-looking, seemingly random appearing fatal car crash in 1998. Jacobson even sounds like or comes across as an butt crevasse in his actions when friends, his own son, coworkers, and former associates talk about him, including his 6 ex-wives.
 
That and the end of episode 5 and preview of 6 strongly suggests that.
 
I've stopped on it several times when browsing Netflix titles. I guess I'm gonna watch it after I finish watching The Wire. The Wire is better than I expected. Into season 2 there and my wife jumped in and is watching as well.
