In the French film, 'L'Adversaire' Jean-Marc Faure (Daniel Auteuil) appears to be a highly successful man. According to Jean-Marc, his wife, Christine (Geraldine Pailhas), family and friends, he's a successful doctor employed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

In reality, Jean-Marc never finished medical school, and he spends his days hanging out at the WHO building doing research through public access records and trying to crash conferences. His life as a jet-setting doctor is funded by the savings of family members and friends who let him 'invest' their money for them. Jean-Marc's fantasy world comes crashing down to earth when various investors start demanding their money and the 18% per annum interest he promised.
