To no one’s surprise, there is going to be a made-for-TV film about serial fabulist and no ex-congressperson George Santos. At the same time, life rights can come with exclusive access. Since criminals aren’t allowed to profit off their crimes, the money Sorokin got from Netflix was mostly used to pay back banks and settle fines. The person can continue to milk their story even after they sell the film rights but the shelf life of such stories is not very long. So Santos needs to get as much as he can the first time around so that he can hope to repay all the people he swindled.
