[edit] Information

Using his mysterious Economic Confidence Model, Martin Armstrong predicted financial market crises and global conflicts with incredible precision. When some big New York bankers asked him to join "The Club" to help them to take over Russia, he refused to join the manipulation. A few days later the FBI stormed his offices accusing him of a 3 billion dollar Ponzi Scheme and put him in prison for twelve years. Was it an attempt to silence him and prevent him from initiating a public discourse on the real Ponzi scheme of debts that the world has been building up for decades? Now he's back—with his scariest prediction yet. In 1981, financial advisor Martin Armstrong founded Princeton Economics International. Using his mysterious Economic Confidence Model (based on a cryptic formula incorporating business cycles and the number Pi), the company became a financial juggernaut, predicting financial market crises and global conflicts with incredible precision. Armstrong's lectures on the relationship between international finance and geopolitics garnered him a great deal of attention, first from the banking industry, and then from the FBI, who seized both his assets and his computer model, accusing him of running a three billion dollar Ponzi scheme. Though no judgment was passed against him, Armstrong spent the next twelve years in prison. Now he's returned with his scariest prediction yet, the same warning that he made before his arrest—that a global debt crisis will begin in October 2015. Co-directors Marcus Vetter and Karin Steinberger use Georg Zengerling's striking widescreen cinematography to transport us from the financial corridors of Wall Street to the beaches of Australia and hotel rooms in Bangkok. Together, they weave archival footage, insider interviews, and courtroom illustrations into an unapologetically partisan portrait of a man who is either a singularly gifted con man, or possibly one of the most important whistleblowers of the modern era. A Film by Marcus Vetter ; A Filmperspektive Co-Production with EIKON,TV Plus,SWR,ARTE and NDR
