Crazy Eddie movie not cool with fraud's former CFO

Danny Devito signed a deal with Eddie Antar to make a movie about the electronics chain turned securities fraud he ran in 1980s. The problem? Eddie's cousin Sam Antar, the former CFO of the company, is upset because he feels that the film will glamorize corporate malfeasance. Howard Sirota, the securities lawyer who won a $700 million settlement for Antar's victims that hasn't been paid off yet, is upset because he wants any money that comes from the film to go to the victims.

A lawyer for Devito told Fox Business that "There was a deal and that deal is terminated. Any script that is written, or movie produced, will be based on public domain events and information."

Sam Antar's advised Devito to "not glamorize an economic predator." Devito has said that Antar loved the "art of the deal more than money" but Antar disagrees: "Eddie Antar loved money more than his own family."
