3. Wanted: America's Greatest Fugitive
On a sunny day in November 1998, a Brooklyn computer salesman was supposed to report to prison to begin serving a 17-year sentence. He rented a Ford Taurus, drove to Queens to deliver the anklet he was wearing, withdrew $600 and headed for JFK Airport. However, he disappeared.
John Ruffo used fake corporate documents and seals and convinced banks to lend him $350 million. So he came up with a proposal he called Project Star and used the money to bet millions on the stock market. So much so that he became one of Wall Street's high rollers. As soon as he found out, the FBI set a trap.
However, the promoters made a big mistake. Soon after receiving the sentence they agreed to let Ruffo drive himself to the prison. Thus began one of the longest and most challenging searches in the history of the US Delegates Service.

Starring and produced by Renée Zellweger, the miniseries is based on the murder of housewife Betsy Faria. In 2011, she was found dead at home by her husband, Russ who was charged and arrested. However, her arrest led to a chain of events that exposed Betsy's best friend Pam Hupp's (Renée Zellweger) plan.
5. The Dropout

The device would be responsible for analyzing the blood.
In 2014, the company already employed 800 people and was valued at US$ 9 billion (R$ 49.4 billion). But in 2015, John Ioannidis, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, raised the first suspicions about the company's reliability. Then, a report by John Carreyrou published in The Wall Street Journal denounced that the machines were not as effective, among other accusations.
