Easy Money 2023: The Golden Age of Fraud, Casino Capitalism, and Cryptocurrency

By Ramon Hughes

Ben McKenzie, star of The O.C. and Gotham, exemplified cryptocurrency at the height of the pandemic: a father stuck at home with some money in his pocket, stressed over his family, equipped with just the dubious idea that individuals were making stacks of cash on something he - regardless of a degree in financial matters - didn't completely have any idea. McKenzie delved deeply into blockchain, Bitcoin, and the various other coins and exchanges on which they are traded, lured in by the promise of taking power from banks, possibly improving democracy, and certain, a touch of FOMO.

He had to ask, "Am I crazy, or is this all a total scam?" after scratching the surface. In Income sans work, McKenzie enrolls the assistance of writer Jacob Silverman for a trick and confession that focuses in shock to the climactic last long periods of digital money now upon us. Easy Money is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of irresponsibility and criminal fraud potentially ten times more devastating than Bernie Madoff, weaving together the stories of average traders and victims, colorful crypto "visionaries," Hollywood's biggest true believers, anti-crypto whistleblowers, and government agents searching for solutions at the precipice of a major crash.
