When Hollywood Meets Wall Street's Wildest Con
Picture a Hollywood actor sitting across from his friend Dave in early 2021, watching him prepare to dump his savings into Bitcoin. Most people would shrug and wish him luck. But Ben McKenzie wasn't most people-his economics degree was screaming warnings that something was deeply, fundamentally wrong. Fast forward months later, and cryptocurrency had ballooned into a $3 trillion market with Matt Damon telling Americans that "fortune favors the brave" in Super Bowl commercials. Yet McKenzie couldn't shake a nagging question: What if this wasn't innovation but the largest fraud in American history, dressed up in Silicon Valley jargon? His investigation would take him from glitzy Miami crypto conferences to impoverished Salvadoran villages, eventually landing him before Congress. What he discovered wasn't the future of money-it was the oldest con in history, repackaged with blockchain buzzwords and sold to millions of ordinary Americans desperate for financial freedom.
