This documentary takes a gonzo dive into the most seductive scam of our time: crypto. Based on his NYT bestseller “Easy Money,” actor-turned-sleuth Ben McKenzie traces crypto’s unsettling rise to cultural supremacy, revealing that behind all the hype is less a story about tech innovation but a tale as old as time: get rich quick! Armed with an econ degree and a healthy BS detector, McKenzie faces down industry titans like Sam Bankman-Fried and treks to El Salvador in search of a crypto-El Dorado, only to discover tall tales and empty promises… and lots and lots of fraud. In an age where even Presidents can cash in on crypto scams in broad daylight, McKenzie exposes the biggest lie of all—the ones we tell ourselves.
