This film really turned my head around on the crypto crisis and made me more skeptic than fanboy. Ben is a likable everyman, leading the doc narrative with common sense Al dissection and a moral poise that seems more and more foreign, and elusive, as the days and weeks go…

Great respect for Ben to dedicate the time and resources to tell this story and share the stories of others. I only wish people would process it especially those in our government. Sadly there will always be scam artists and grifters and we’re in a golden age of fraud.
