Les Escrocs de la Crypto

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.

People will have a field day psychoanalysing the antagonist in this documentary - rarely do we get such clear insight into the mind of a cold-hearted fraudster. Ray Trapani is also an archetype representing those capable of ripping off other human beings without a flicker of emotion (and there's a higher than average representation of such people in the world of alt crypto) - it's fascinating to see such a disgusting example of humanity reveal himself for what he is. He's so disconnected from what it means to be human that he somehow thought it would be a good idea to show the world what a piece of garbage he is. This documentary is worth a watch simply to see that play out.

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.

Here's The 4K Lowedown on "Bitconned" (TV-MA - 2024 - Netflix)

Genre: Documentary/True Crime

My Score: 7.0 Cast=4 Acting=7 Trailer=6 Ending=8 Story=9 Visuals=7 Direct=7 Sounds=6 Genre-9 Sub-genre=7

In this true-crime documentary, three guys exploit the freewheeling cryptocurrency market to scam millions from investors and bankroll lavish lifestyles.

"Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a criminal." A successful documentary is one that can educate or infuriate...and this was able to achieve both for me. Ultimately not a topic I cared much about, but I had a little knowledge of cryptocurrency. The focus of this documentary is a prick from the word go, but I found myself understanding why people were giving their money to him. If you are interested in true crime or the subject matter, this is worth a watch.

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.
