- The glamour of Hollywood has attracted aspiring actors and filmmakers from around the world for a century. There’s no other place on the planet quite like it - a town full of wildly ambitious people who have followed their dreams of succeeding in the cutthroat entertainment industry. Of course, only a very small select few land roles in movies people actually watch, let alone walk red carpets or become household names. For everyone else, it’s hustling for auditions while working part-time jobs, taking every small uncredited role, doing almost anything to make it. Zach Horwitz (aka Zach Avery) was one of those people. He moved to Hollywood with no connections and no qualifications but ended up acting alongside Hollywood legends, bought a multi-million-dollar house, and drove flashy cars - he had, ostensibly, “made it”. But this is not some Hollywood fairytale. Zach Horwitz went to the extreme to make his dream come true, and along the way, stole millions from his closest family and friends.

It's his wife I feel most sorry for. She gave up her own life for him and ended up with absolutely nothing.
what ? how about generations of family some of them filed bankrupcy, jobless lived through foodstamps
@@Apudurangdinya in my opinion, I feel bad for everyone involved in this that are not Zach.
Never make yourself dependent on a man, they will exploit you. If a man askes you to give up your work to stay at home, this is ALWAYS a red flag! He will make you completely dependent on him and isolate you and you are not able to leave when he starts to abuse you, and he will abuse you.
I mean, she was gorgeous and could have had almost any man she wanted. She went with a wannabe actor schmo and believed billionaire Howard Schultz was impressed with his shitty cafe. If you still feel bad for her you're a total SIMP.
And not just his wife, but his kids, too! 😥
I don't know how Zack did it. I felt stressed just listening to what he did.
Yeah really, most Ponzi work with friends and family members. I had a friend in my youth he´s now disappeared, he scammed all his friends and family members of the friends.
@@danijuggernaut he like gingerbread man catch him if you can
G.R.E.E.D.
You can get away with anything if you're an attractive douchebag.
Blinded by greed...and/or is a pyschopath who don't process fear or consider consequences like normal people.
The irony is there will probably be a movie about this...on Netflix.
Not ironic. Check a dictionary plz
@@adampatino5372 nah. I know what irony means, as it is opposite, but the word has taken on more meanings than that, including quirky or unexpected results.
Netflix wanted a tv show, they didn't but the real life drama can end up being the show they didn't expect.
The word Irony is often used beyond just opposite and ought to be updated in modern times to reflect that.
most likely a docu sries

He begged the judge to be able to see his sons grow up, when his own actions may well have led others to poor health or suicide. Too bad, so sad I say.
"Led to suicide." You do know how suicide works, right?
20 years prison. Good. He ruined a lot of people. Destroyed their lives
He'll probably get out in half of that for "good behaviour" white collar crimes are always punished with a slap of the wrist
I'm always blown away at the fact that people who are experts in finance and business can fall for such scams especially when the line "Guaranteed pofit" is used.
Fear of missing out
I don't think it was about them being experts, I think it was something else.
Given it's "Jacob, Joseph, Matthew and Mr. Crookston", it's not just random people now is it.
you are forgetting the detail that it was his closest, lifelong friends and family who lent him the money. it was not strangers. people you have known for years who trust you will often need little to no convincing. they assume that because of your past and connections you would repay them somehow even if things did go south. that was their downfall, blindly trusting a friend to be a good person.
Greed...endless greed...what's the use since you can't take it with you..Furthermore, the next generation can work for their own money unless they've been raised to be entitled and useless...Of course, it's always nice to be wealthy from inheritance from the death of your loved ones.
So many shady extrovert conman in Hollywood and as an introvert myself I could usually tell when someone is so shady or most of the case they are just insecure attention narcissist. What this case is sad is that if those college firends are innocent then sad they are betrayed by their former classmate. and as for wife, wonder if really sure she didnt know? mostly I dont believe why anyone didnt check LATIN AMERICAN netflix sites if they are actually listing those film titles ?!?!?!?!
"You will get rich if you give me your money" is the oldest trick in the book
& People still fall for it.
Saying he wasn't much of an actor... I've seen people with less talent make it big while wondering why and who looked worse. I'm no fan of this guy --this is the first I've heard of him --but not every celebrity can act!😕
Trump uses that line everyday.
If he had only $3K in the bank, where did he get the money for the bond? Another scheme for a loan of the bond?
I thought it was 300k
Please keep on uploading you are going to make it! Can't wait tell you pop off and get your Recognition you Deserve
backed
Can't believe he's still under 1k!
@@Chocolatepain let’s get him over it!!
Appreciate it the kind words and support my divine overlord Elmo 🙏🏻
It's all in the "chosen" algorithm by TH-cam people.
How anybody could trust a guy who looks that creepy is a mystery to me.
That's literally a main ingredient to success.
1) Be a man
2) Be creepy
3) Scam, pillage and steal
His eyes look unnatural
He's conventionally attractive just like Jared Leto with creepy eyes
It’s his eyes
Greed
"It's lonely at the top. That's why Bugatti has two seats and the bus has fifty" - Zacc Avery, probably
I would have liked a lot more detail on this story. How did they manage financially when they first moved and their only income was her hairdressing job. Didn’t she wonder why he wasn’t getting paid a substantial amount ?
They managed financially probably from credit cards debts on Jack’s name
Same here. How did he pull off the Howard Schulz Maveron con for that long with his wife not knowing without any actual income or capital?
I wouldn't be surprised if she just didn't care or accepted some ridiculous explanation.
Iv watched videos about this guy before I believe Spencer Cornelia did a 2 or 3 part on it.
The title of one of the videos is Actor fools Hollywood with 650 million scam.
"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" - Sammy Davis Jr.....
Your commentary mixed with the editing and sound, makes for a very pleasing viewing experience. Keep up the good work!
Great video man! I'm telling you man you keep producing content like this and easy mill next year or after that!
Thanks so much man, means a lot coming from you!
easy mil, ah?
@@amglimpse i am an indiana university grad. i do not remember his name at all. excellent video! your detail & descriptions are on point
Question: Let's say I give Zack $1,000 and get 15% on that investment.
So my return is $1150. If you made $150 dollars profit from this scam.
But let's say I refuse to reinvest and just sit on my profits.
When the scam is discovered and all the investors investigated.
Would the FBI require that I return my 15% profit paid from other peoples money?
ARE YOU REQUIRED TO RETURN THAT MONEY??
@@ryanlesner0000ninja you're required to return any ill-gotten gains. Unless they're donations to the Dems.
So he got 5 years of the great life and probably 2 more years of good life, and now he has to pay with 20 years at a Club Fed prison in LA, it is not like he is in
Thomson Correctional facility in Illinois.
Clearly he told his dentist to give him the "high beams" treatment.
How anyone could think they could get away with this is baffling.. what was his end game? How was he planning to run away or whatever?
I guarantee he thought that he could save himself and pay off his investors by making a Blockbuster action movie with the success of a Mission Impossible, or the Terminator. Unfortunately, the “star” he hired was a wooden actor as handsome as a rat and the charisma of a bologna sandwich…himself.
@@dknelsongreat point. With his arrogance, he felt he could be the giant movie star despite not having the talent to pull it off.
He was such an actor
Now his own story has become a movie
well lets not give this C list acting level conman any more attention he wants. lol
I was late to court for a parking ticket once and was stressed ….I can’t imagine l\keeping juggling this secret
Right?! Lol
Good job and I am a lawyer you covered the legal aspects of this case very well - I even read the email that the Netflix lawyer sent - so badly drafted you would never make accusations in writing or on the record unless you were 'alleging' them could have opened up Netflix to a lawsuit if there was a legit reason for the existence of those documents.
Your run-on sentences and lack of punctuation has me wondering if you're really a lawyer. Maybe you were just in a hurry?✌️
@@treylem3 you sound too young to tell.
@@AlexanderNixonArtHistory I think it's just the lack of commas in the original comment that makes it seem like a run on sentence just like this comment.
@@treylem3 LOL
@@defcon1africa676 What's so funny, that you're laughing out loud?
I cannot believe this channel only had 4.5k subs. What an honour to have found such quality work so early on! Keep posting, great stuff and new content too! I'm very familiar with schemes and fraudsters but apart from Bella and the major in who reacts to be a millionaire I've not heard of any if the stuff you're posting. Great work keep it up!
28k now! How good content grows fast :)

This channel is simply outstanding.
Almost at 500 subs! Well done, the videos continue to be great
This page is the best kept secret!!! You’re on your way to the top my guy 👌🏾
This was a great presentation! Thanks.
Your content is some of my VERY FAVORITE! Excellent research, excellent delivery, and fascinating content. So excited to see what you do in the future!! 💚✨
I do not even remember what I did on TH-cam before this channel, now this is all I binge. Keep up the great work and amazing presentations!!!
Thanks for another great video!
Fake it until you make it… taken to a whole new level
Man if he just became a fake guru online or crypto guy he would have been fine. 😂
Can you imagine if this guy spent his energy to really go talk to Netflix and HBO instead of writing all this emails.. he might have been successful
Nah, he's pretty talentless.
So happy I found your channel! Exactly the kind of content I never knew I wanted honestly
Your content is honestly multi-million subscriber level. It’s unreal how good it is, keep at it, you are going to go far my friend. So impressive!
I've watched many documentaries on this story, but this was definitely the most thorough. Well done!
Your content and through research are A1. Great work.
There are so many stories like this one around, it’s shocking to see how easy it seems to rip off the rich and famous from millions. I just don’t get it.
the 1% are the biggest marks
just discovered your channel tonight. incredibly impressed by your content. you can do it!
Sounds like a true Hollywood persona.
Your videos are very good.
I hope you will keep doing them.
Your channel is the next big thing. Trust me when I tell you I see this coming. From story line to execution and images. I watched all the videos you have to keep them coming!
This channel is really starting to grow and it definitely is deserved
Great video You guys! Can't wait for more!
These videos are amazing please continue and thank you
I’m really enjoying your content, please keep going!
Just found your channel and Im happy I did. Great job.
i'm hyped to see where this channel goes. keep it up!
AM, what a great story teller you are, love the content and production values of this video.
Great video!
Amazing videos and story telling. Keep it up. :)
I love stories like this, and you have done a good job of it. Please keep it up.
Your channel was recommended to me recently and I really like your videos!!!
Just echoing what everyone else seems to be saying, this is great content, well narrated and structured - keep chugging away at it and the channel is bound to explode. Keep up the great work!
Zach could have had a great career in Account Management/Business Development if only he wasn't so greedy and predatory. He's obviously great at convincing people of things and selling
yeah except conning people is actually a lot easier than actually convincing someone to buy a product.
Selling the benefits of a product is hard, selling the benefits of a fantasy & free money is dead easy
I am shocked you don’t have more subscribers, this is great quality content. No chance you aren’t going to blow up
Well done video, keep up the good work, I enjoyed lots. And subscribed!
Great vid thx
Love all your videos 👍
Amazing content!!!
I'm binge watching your vids and you are incredibly talented and a YT hidden gem 💎
Well done video.
I first saw this guy years ago in a horror film called Trespassers, before this scandal broke. I thought he was photogenic and buff but not the best actor.
I also read interviews he did where he had a lot of well-meaning but cliche liberal "want to do good and improve the world" celebrity talking points.
Imagine my shock when I heard the news about his scam.
Your story telling and narration is lovely. Such a professional way of presenting. Love it sir.
I dont the wife knew. For a couple reason as it was a ponzi scheme chances are he wouldn't have said anything, and if the wife knew then why did she give up her job willingly if she knew the situation would have to end eventually, then it makes no sense why she quit her job when reality she may have brought in a good paycheck for doing celebrities hair. Maybe he was jelous of her succes, or he knew tge word would get out, and he didnt want her, but specially investors to find out.
awesome channel!👍🏾😊
Another great video, keep it up :)
AWESOME CHANNEL.....DONE WELL VERY INTERESTING...... DON'T STOP 👍👍👍👍
You are great, subscribed!
Thank you!
Thank you for the in-depth narration of this story. Just learned about the whole scheme from a new Dr. Grande video and it was nice to hear when more information and context. We interviewed this man after a publicist pitched him back in 2019 and are absolutely blown away by this story. It was so weird to recognize his face in a thumbnail of a true crime channel. You just never know who someone is, especially after a brief interview, but man, if this isn’t living proof.
Hilariously, "1 in MM" translates to "1 in 2000", not one in a million, showing how bright these bros were, but I'm sure no one ever brought it up in Hollywood
It should have been 1in1e6
It's a play on millimeter, because 35mm celluloid film was the industry standard before digital. Also, Horwitz was a better actor than people give him credit for if he pulled off a Ponzi like this.
This content is such a breath of fresh air among other channels that just wait for others to post original content just to steal it, bravo, you’ll be big one day
I'm hooked on this channel
Not skipping ads for you mate! Keep it going 💪🏻
My new favorite channel!
Need to make more of these videos 😭😭
Great content, never heard of this case, but it's fascinating. Please keep them coming. Subscribed!
Jacob, Joseph, Matthew and Mr. Crookston working in powerful positions in Finance!
LMAO This sounds like a setup for a joke.
Rob Zombie only made one Halloween film He is known for the House of 1000 Corpse's films.
Yo this channel is Fuckin amazing. Lol these stories are crazy. I love the lies & deceit. It’s almost better than True Crime! Keep it up’ this is great
Yeah this is truly a great video keep it up for real !!!!
Great video & scamming story .. can you look into two more cases from Paterson NJ . Cesar pena is one another case was. Guy called manzini . Thank you

Great channel! Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll break through!
All these _Californicated_ individuals that dream of nothing more in life other than making it big on the silver screen make me _cringe_ at the core, it takes just a glimpse to see how empty and meaningless the lives of these _zombie actors_ are.
Dude well done on the video
I like the tone and appreciate these videos take a long time to put together. I hope the channel continues to grow. 👍
Definitely deserve more views 🎉🎉
The old saying goes Don’t put all your eggs in one basket 🧺… it’s always true
Wow amazing content you need more subscribers mate!!
“I want to see my sons grow up” I know he said that to get sympathy and get out of it but does he _really_ think they’d want anything to do with him when they inevitably find out what he did?
I clicked on the video thinking it would have something to do with Scientology and how it scams and brainwashes aspiring actors. Really interesting story, and well told
Keep ‘em coming you deserve more subs and you’ll get them
No way am I going to be held at bay over some emails. The lynch pin for people with money like this is so shallow. People that putside looking in are so decorated it makes decisions that carry so much weight with remedial justification..
Dam bro knew here but 3 straight videos keep going you got the right idea hope to see u big
I just found your channel today and I’ve been watching for hours now 😅. I have no doubt your channel will continue to grow.

Great channel - well made and extremely interesting.
Well done 👏🏼

Wow great video. Keep up with awesome videos like this and you’ll have 1mil+ subscribers in no time!
All he had to do was secure an investment with no promise of return (very common in film) or report massive losses from one movie. So close to getting away with it
09:50 - He once TRIED to tip a waitress $5,000? What went wrong for the waitress? 🤔
Hayche-Bee-Oh! LOL
Excellent video, though.
