Plot Synopsis

Desperate for startup stardom, an overly-ambitious finance mastermind lies, cheats and schemes his less-than-authentic company up the ladder to success. Felix Armand wants to be at the top. Because once he's there, he can finally be a decent human being. After all, he's the damn mastermind behind the most successful FinTech company of all time, and all of Germany: the CableCash AG. Unfortunately, everything is already blowing up in Felix's face during the IPO: Money laundering, investor deception, internet pornography. As a medium-sized company, you certainly don't get applauded for using such methods by the German public. And after Felix has freed his megalomaniac and esoteric boss Magnus from the clutches of the Sicilian Mafia, he promptly abandons him, and Felix once again has to handle it all on his own. The press, politics, the underworld - and Magnus. They all want a piece of the pie and Felix can't keep up trying to play them all against each other. And so Felix turns from a lousy little programmer into the biggest swindler in German post-war history. And then there is also Sheila Williams, the woman Felix really shouldn't fall in love with. All six episodes of KING OF STONKS dropped on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 on Netflix.
