Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud

English

By (author): Ben McKenzie Jacob Silverman

From a famous actor and an experienced journalist, a wildly entertaining debunking of cryptocurrency, one of the greatest frauds in history and on course for a spectacular crash.

At the height of the pandemic, TV star Ben McKenzie (The O.C., Gotham) was the perfect mark for cryptocurrency: a dad stuck at home with some cash in his pocket, worried about his family, armed with only the vague notion that people were making heaps of money on something hedespite a degree in economicsdidnt entirely understand. Lured in by the promise of taking power from banks, possibly improving democracy, and sure, a touch of FOMO, McKenzie dove deep into blockchain, Bitcoin, and the various other coins and exchanges on which they are traded. But after scratching the surface, he had to ask, Am I crazy, or is this all a total scam?

In Easy Money, McKenzie enlists the help of journalist Jonathan Silverman for a caper and exposé that points in shock to the climactic final days of cryptocurrency now upon us. Weaving together stories of average traders and victims, colorful crypto visionaries, Hollywoods biggest true believers, anti-crypto whistleblowers, and government agents searching for solutions at the precipice of a major crash, Easy Money is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of 2008 Housing Bubblelevel irresponsibility and criminal fraud potentially ten times more devastating than Bernie Madoff.
