It made me think of John Oliver's interview with Edward Snowden, where he asked him if it was worth blowing up his life, then played him a bunch of clips showing that almost nobody they asked even knew who he was. And this was awhile back, I think only two years after it all went down.

Hollywood actually does its fair share of money laundering (as does nearly every industry in the US that handles that kind of money). The guy who took over Harvey Weinstein's company had a bizarrely complex scheme going involving the college fund for the "customer's" kids, but it hasn't gotten a lot of media attention. And I know they used to do more straightforward style back in the early days, inflating production costs, etc.

By the way, I think you meant "cachet." I swear I'm not normally that guy; I only bring it up because, embarrassingly, I reread that sentence five times trying to figure out if you meant a hidden stash of money (which I guess also makes sense in this context).

Edit: Read through the thread and nobody has asked: how can we watch this movie? The IMDb page seems to imply that maybe you can watch it with a Starz account?

Edit Again!: Wikipedia says Taxi No. 9211 is a Bollywood remake of Changing Lanes, and I really want to watch that one, too.
