Abstract:
"At the height of the pandemic, TV star Ben McKenzie was armed with only the vague notion that people were making heaps of money on something he didn't entirely understand. Lured in, 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, "Is this all a total scam?" In Easy Money, McKenzie enlists the help of journalist Jacob Silverman for an investigative adventure into crypto and its crash. It is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of irresponsibility and criminal fraud"-- Back cover.
