I don't think it would be coming out if it wasn't true. Oher has always come across as a genuine guy even after they portrayed him so poorly in that film. Seems like his side has been looking into this for a while as well
The Tuohy's haven't responded yet, there's nothing of theirs to take at face value. I'm just remaining skeptical at this time and not taking a "well, I don't think it would have come out if it wasn't true" approach, which by the way is some of the clownfraudulent logic I have ever heard.
The Tuohy's haven't filed a legal response. And no just because some ass hat plaintiff's lawyers filed a case doesn't make it true. Time will tell what is true and what isn't. Proof is needed to treat horrible stuff like this as fact as to anyone, even though I'd personally love it if this was true and brought Reverend Freeze down again.
#4- it's not illegal to make royalties off a film that depicts some event from your life; that's actually pretty standard on biographical adaptations and doesn't even remotely begin to prove wrongdoing.
It works as a movie too. I had a non-wine friend check out the film and he gave it a thumbs up. The film crew decamps to Burgundy to get some beautiful B roll footage; Laurent Ponsot comes off great in his role as inspecteur.
It is on my list. So fabulous to catch and convict a smarmy, know-it-all wine fraud, and how delicious to expose the frailty of experts in the field, and of course to applaud those who suspected it all along.
They inadvertently find themselves trapped in fraud factories, and are forced to engage in criminal activities to survive. The film unfolds from the perspectives of criminals, victims, and the police.

Carpenter claimed to have the support from well-connected people in Hollywood to build a movie studio complex in Dixon, but prosecutors say those figures had little to no involvement in the project and Carpenter used investors' money to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
Officials say Carpenter has asked for a release from her sentence multiple times, but the impact of the pandemic on the federal prison in Texas where she is serving convinced U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley to grant her release. Carpenter will now serve two more years in home confinement with electronic monitoring.
According to the judge, Carpenter contracted coronavirus and recovered at the facility in Texas where hundreds of inmates have tested positive and six have died. Judge Nunley noted that Carpenter's age and health made her high risk. Carpenter has reportedly had nine heart attacks, six pacemaker surgeries, and two blood clot surgeries.
The film industry often evokes visions of Hollywood grandeur, enticing many to pursue a career in acting, directing, or producing. However, the glittering and glamorous lifestyles of the rich and famous often overshadow the seedy underbelly of an industry that can be rife with fraud.
Passing stringent legislation is a popular tactic for curtailing film industry fraud, as is targeting high-profile convictions. Many often theorize that the IRS specifically targets famous actors to remind the general public that no one is above the law. While some may see tax fraud as a victimless crime, the reality is that these schemes take the money out of the pockets of critical government-funded programs and the people who utilize them.

Pope focuses the film less on Crundwell and more on the actual fraud so that it can serve as a lesson on how opportunities to perpetrate fraud present themselves and expose how fraud is actually committed.
If you finished Queenpins on Netflix, you may be surprised that the movie is loosely based on the largest counterfeit coupon scam in U.S. history. However, there are a few major differences between the film and the real-life events that unfolded more than a decade ago.
Directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapill, Queenpins follows suburban house mom Connie Kaminiski (Kristen Bell) and her bestfriend and aspiring influencer JoJo Johnson (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) who start an illegal multimillion-dollar coupon scheme in Phoenix, Arizona.
Yes, Queenpins draws inspiration from the real-life story of three Arizona women who amassed millions through the sale of fake coupons. The movie alters certain aspects of the massive coupon scheme, including the number of women involved and their identities.
In real life, Robin Ramirez started selling coupons as early as 2007, and her two co-conspirators Amiko Fountain and Marilyn Johnson eventually joined in. Ramirez, considered the ringleader of the operation, and her conspirators made fake coupons overseas and reproduced legitimate ones. (This differs from the film, where the women had coupons shipped from Chihuahua, Mexico.) The forged coupons were then sold on eBay and their website, savvyshoppersite.com, according to ABC News.
Ultimately, Procter & Gamble and 40 other businesses started filing fraud complaints to the Coupon Information Corporation and the local authorities. Phoenix Police Department and private investigators conducted an eight-week investigation, and in 2012, the trio were arrested for running a counterfeit coupon ring.
Police recovered $40 million in counterfeit coupons, as well as $2 million in other assets like guns, cash, vehicles, a speed boat, and more. The three women also faced charges including fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, and operating a criminal enterprise.
In 2013, Ramirez went to trial, and Fountain and Johnson agreed to testify against her. Ramirez was sentenced to two years in prison and seven years of probation. All three were also forced to pay $1.2 million restitution to Procter and Gamble.
This is significant because in a lot of countries (particularly EU ones) the victim would be refunded were this an unauthorized scam covered under local legislation. Even the legal argument (that the victim is grossly negligent in giving her password away) to avoid reimbursement would normally not be applied here, as she would be seen as vulnerable on account of her age. Unfortunately, this reimbursement regime does not yet apply in the USA (where the movie takes place) and refunds there are at the discretion of the bank.
Thankfully, more and more banks around the world are investing in state-of-the-art scam-detection via behavior to detect both types of fraud more successfully, alongside other monitoring. The use of a RAT circumvents traditional device-profiling, but behavior can spot the use of RAT tools, detecting anomalies in both the session behavior and user behavior. A fraudster might be younger, with better hand-eye-coordination, or the victim might show signs of acting under the direction of someone on the phone.
One last piece of trivia: The actress who plays the scam victim in the film, Phylicia Rashad, agreed to play this role because her real-life mother fell victim to a tech-support scam, which her bank stopped successfully. In real life, scams are still under-reported (especially in parts of the world where there are no refunds and falling for a scam comes with some social stigma), with only 40% being flagged to banks or authorities. Organizations such as the Global Anti Scam Alliance are doing their bit to look at the end-to-end scam chain, and we are proud to be working with them.
Most PPMs are pretty standard documents. It creates an LLC with members (investors) and managers (filmmakers). It articulates what the filmmakers will do with the money, how the money will be spent (the business plan), and how it will be returned to investors. It also includes some other points:
In most PPMs, the payment structure works like this: Investors contribute cash to a production company. At that point, the filmmakers control how the money is spent, how creative, crew and distribution deals are made, and how income is distributed back at the end (if there is any).
After operating costs, investors should receive their initial capital investment plus some kind of premium (usually 10%) from dollar number one. In some cases, there is a deferred payment pool for participants who opted to be paid later. For example, Writer takes $100K now and $500K after capital is returned to investors if the film makes money.
