After I watched Fargo again I was thinking about how the movie is intentionally vague as to exactly what Jerry Lundegaard needs money for. I think that I've heard the Coens say in an interview that they always figured he was caught up in some kind of pyramid scheme, which makes sense, but I like to think that Jerry might have been the victim of a 419-type scam (variants of which existed as far back as the 1920s, apparently).
