The Wizard of Lies film billboards...

These days it's easy to think that fraudsters, conmen and corrupt businessmen can get away with anything, even make it all the way to the White House, but some of them like Bernie Madoff get caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

Robert De Niro transforms into the Ponzi scheme operator in HBO's new telefilm, The Wizard of Lies, based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Diane B. Henriques.

An almost unrecognisable Michelle Pfeiffer stars as his wife, Ruth Madoff, in the story about the biggest financial fraud in American history that cheated thousands of investors of millions of dollars.

What did his family know and were they complicit in his actions? Did he really keep this secret from his wife and his two sons all those years?

These HBO movie billboards, giant and standard landscape sizes, were snapped along Sunset Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard from April 29 to May 8, 2017.

Robert De Niro fans can also check to these Dirty Grandpa movie billboards, these Last Vegas movie billboards, these film billboards for The Intern and these Grudge Match movie billboards.

Plus you can also see the actor starring alongside Michelle Pfeiffer in this movie billboard for The Family from 2013.

The HBO film's tagline says it all, 'Only those that you trust can truly betray you'.

At this moment in history there's another prominent liar who seems to be betraying his supporters on a daily basis, failing to deliver on so many huge promises, but as they say, even the best lies catch up with you eventually. Truth will out.

UPDATED: Here's also two Emmy consideration billboards for the 'Powerful' and 'Captivating' HBO telefilm.

These ad creatives were snapped along Fairfax Avenue on June 2, 2017 and above the Sunset Strip the next day.

UPDATED: Here's also a 'Captivating' billboard to help support The Wizard of Lies four Emmy nominations, including acting nods for Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro.

This HBO Emmy campaign billboard for the telemovie was snapped above Sunset Boulevard on August 9, 2017.
