View the entire show at org/wnet/expose/watch/... Watch this preview of "Money for Nothing" Exposé: America's Investigative Reports, on PBS. With the Miami real estate market booming, why were some residents being left out in the cold? With an innovative tax on commercial real estate transactions, money was flowing into the Miami-Dade Housing Agency, the body charged with building affordable housing. But there was a problem: a lot of money was going out, but not a lot of houses were being built. Reporter Debbie Cenziper of THE MIAMI HERALD goes inside the agency's own incomplete records, fills in the gaps, and connects the dots -- exposing mismanagement and an insider's club where backs were scratched and palms were greased. And watch the full episode when it premieres online, Wednesday, July 25, at 12 noon ET. (Or check your local listings for broadcast dates on PBS nationwide, beginning Friday, July 27.)

FRONTLINE correspondent Lowell Bergman investigates the shadowy world of international bribery in Black Money airing Tuesday, Apr 7 on PBS (check local listings).The story reveals how multi-national companies create slush funds, set up front companies, and make secret payments, all to get billions in business. But these practices are facing a new international crackdown, led by prosecutors at the U.S. Department of Justice and allies abroad. At the center of this is a controversial, ongoing investigation into the British-based multi-national BAE Systems and allegations about billion dollar bribes. Watch on air and online beginning April 7, 2009.
