So a man who says that his greatest ambition when he was a child was to become a criminal, starts a crypto company with a few friends, and they raise eye-popping amounts of money because they actually do have a good idea, gets charged with a crime and gets parole because he cooperated with the authorities. It's a very strange because it seems like he was clearly viewing this as a scam and as a way to milk money from people, and the person who got the longest jail term seemed like he was at least trying to turn this idea into reality. What I don't understand though is why not just be honest with people. Say we have this idea, it doesn't work yet, ask your money, and we'll be able to come up with something that works. I think while we do hear from other characters in this drama, there is too much focus on the main scammer and there's also no pushback for any of the information that he says. It would be good if they had him say something, and then someone else involved could say their opinion. The end of this review on a philosophical note, crypto was attractive to people because it would avoid all the complications of banking. But banking is complicated because people have been trying to rob and defraud people for centuries, so we have enacted rules surrounding banking to make it safer. Crypto doesn't have that and if it will, there's not much difference then between it and the normal banking system.
