Criptofraude

This documentary made my blood boil in every way I like. The story was put together well and painted Ray Trapani (the lead scam artist) in a way that made him truly look like a criminal. This is not always done well by Netflix.

If you like documentaries about crime, scams and crypto, than you need to watch this. It will blow your mind what these con artists come up with to make a quick buck off the ignorant.

In the film you will follow Ray, who lays out all the scams he has pulled over his lifetime. This leads up to the biggest scam of all, Centra Tech. I don't want to ruin anything but let me say this, our judicial system is in serious need of some changes here in the U. S. A.

I loved the honesty from Ray - other's may despise him but without his honesty, the public wouldn't be able to learn how these types of frauds with ALT Coins happen. The title Bitconned may be a little deceiving imo, since what he was selling was an alt coin (78% of those fail due to different reasons such as fraud, pump and dumps, bad mgmt, etc). BIT and ETH aren't in the same class as alt coins and the title may give some the wrong impression imo. He isn't the only one out there who has done such a thing - but he got caught. He was the first to have such a great idea that has taken off since, which means he has talents, but took the wrong path. He just wanted it now and couldn't wait.

We learn lessons not only on alt coin fraud but identity theft (such as the fake lawyer that they had no idea they hired) which brings me to why I didn't give this a 10 star rating because Netflix just couldn't help themselves but to throw in a Presidential candidate's picture and name and associate it with fraud when he had nothing to do with it. So had to deduct 1 star.

As far as the house issue at the end, I have heard yrs ago (not sure if it still stands today) that FL has some kind of law that your home is protected from being able to be taken in any kind of bankruptcy, monetary claims, lawsuits including civil and it is a way of protecting your money.

All in all, informative.

These guys who conned others with their crypto scam are terrible but their victims are gullible! When will people learn that practically everything having to do with crypto currency, especially something new, and seems too good to be true is a scam?! Some Americans like these guys are also just as sleazy scammers as foreign ones, just usually much more sophisticated at it. Can't believe people fell for this and other crypto scams. Maybe this documentary and other stories will finally teach people to do their due diligence before giving their accounts over to strangers and trusting them to be who they claim to be.

This documentary is well-made entertainment.

It even does not fall into the Netflix-pitfall of wokeness and judgementalism. Viewers can form their own opinions, and those may vary. Kudos to that.

Is the fraudster telling the truth?

Is he still playing? Can he do anything else?

Is he a sociopath? What went wrong with him? Are his brothers criminals as well?

It's a story we're being told. Is it the real story?

I really want to hear the other guy's telling of it!

As if you have to be rich to travel the world.

You only have to be rich if you don't want to travel and experience the world but just go places, live luxuriously, and think that makes you a success.

Or maybe just a case of SDS.

The main character, whose name i dont really care about, some of his partners (not all) as well as his family seem to have no problem while talking about their malicious, greedy way to rip off others... alongside many unbelievably immoral statements this one shows what kind of people the "great" western economic and political system of greed and egoism brings out in people,"... i mean, there was this one guy, who was trying to invest (in centra), and then he gave me his password to his whole crypto account. He ment to send me his passcode to send the Centracoins to.... and he gave me his password. ... And i was in this moment like, " Holy shix, this guy just gave me his password. I logged in, couldn't help myself. I already had millions... this is like 100.000 sitting in his account... What do i do here?! And then i just transfered all to my account..."

This quote itself says everything about his character. You should see his cold, proud grin while saying it.

Btw: the money is still "gone" and this, well, i would call him "cold-hearted psychopath" seems to live a good life, planning new businesses ...

He just plays the game big players in our world, the rich and powerful out there always did and still do ... if it's about tax evasion, political corruption or this kind of fraud... it makes no difference. People who can't get enough, who wanna own more and more, if its money, power, control... are the same kind of misleaded individuals, who just dont get, what life is about.

I wouldnt wonder, if he felt good about this documentary and whats even worse, if quite a few young people out there find this way of life, full of manipulation, lies and betrayal attractive.
