Easy Money: Uncovering the realities of the fraud-riddled world of crypto: Actor and author Ben McKenzie and journalist Jacob Silverman, who covers tech, crypto and politics gathered data on the crypto craze through interviews with experts and entrepreneurs to dive into how glorifying and attractive the crypto-world is and how disconnected it is from real value as corporate shares or future commodities. McKenzie’s interest in crypto was piqued during the height of covid-19, when he had time to consider how to invest some money he had. He refers to crypto investments as a “gamb[le]-shuffl[le of] assets among participants in a game of chance” akin to playing poker in a casino — where many swaddlers and fraudsters gather USD tns from mns of people to lure them into the illusionary loop of crypto. The book includes stories of victims, traders, and top crypto fans from inside and outside Hollywood alongside anti-crypto advocates. You can purchase Easy Money from Amazon and the full text on Google Books.
