Hollyweed
It's big stars looking for big opportunity in this episode of Exposed. "Hollyweed" puts the spotlight on the growing number of celebrities who see the cannabis business as the place to make money offstage. Though marijuana is still considered a Schedule One narcotic by the Federal government, more than half of America's states have legalized some form of marijuana use.
Some say the weed business today is where the dot.com business was twenty years ago. It's a tricky dance, as the king of stoner comedy Tommy Chong discovered when he was sent to federal prison for distributing drug paraphenalia. Learn how Tommy Chong, Whoopi Goldberg and the rapper Kurupt are just a few of the trailblazers in the marijuana business.

Madoff with the Money
It was the biggest Ponzi scam in history and it might have continued had Bernie Madoff not blown the whistle on himself. When Madoff admitted the impressive returns his money management firm seemed to be making was all a scam, it unleashed an investigation that found at least $50 billion in assets simply vanished.
Madoff was an equal opportunity schemer -- ripping off both Hollywood A-listers like Kevin Back and Kyra Sedgwick AND regular mom and pop types who presumed their life savings were with one of the most reliable guys on Wall Street.
Exposed with Deborah Norville shows viewers how Madoff set up his fraudulent operation, who was helping him behind the scenes and the infuriating story of the whistle blower the SEC ignored.
