HBO Max teams with Don Cheadle and Steven Soderbergh on a series on Wall Street's first Black millionaire

Variety

The Other Hamilton tells the true story of Jeremiah Hamilton, "a Haitian immigrant turned Wall Street tycoon in the 1800’s who became one of the first Black millionaires using questionable – often illegal – methods," per Variety. "By scamming insurance companies and capitalizing on others’ losses, he earns the moniker Prince of Darkness." The Other Hamilton will be adapted by writers Carlos Foglia, Ashley Nicole Black and Keith Josef Adkins based on the book Prince of Darkness: The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street’s First Black Millionaire by Shane White. Cheadle and Soderbergh will serve as executive producers.
