This sort of thing is why I hardly ever deal with journalists: most of the time, they're far more interested in telling an interesting story than they are in telling an accurate story.
Except that Cullen Hoback is not a journalist or true investigator and more a filmmaker, that's why his former "documentary" was more about making a mystery movie than actually hunting for the guys behind Q, he loved the intrigues and the conspiracies just as much as his targets.
But in the end, funny enough, despite everyone calling this a failure, a disappointment, that HBO should look into making different things, as a movie it was a success, everyone talked about it, everyone was curious about the outcome, people will dissect it for years while $44,341,926 was the volume on polymarket, on a bet that didn't even feature Todd!
