BIT CONNED ; Film releasing in India NETFLIX on January 1st, 2024 at 1:30 PM IST
Forget Wall Street, Ray Trapani had his sights set on a wilder frontier: crypto. This hustler with big dreams and questionable morals saw the Bitcoin boom of 2017 as his golden ticket. Partnering with a buddy, he cooked up Centra Tech, a company promising a slick “crypto debit card.” One problem: neither of them had a clue how to actually build it.
But armed with a Photoshop degree, some shady tactics (fake LinkedIn profiles, anyone?), and the allure of “get rich quick” schemes, Centra Tech started raking in millions. Real product? Nah. Did it work? Surprisingly, yes, for a while. Buckle up for a wild ride in this fast-paced doc, where Director Bryan Storkel takes you down the rabbit hole of Centra Tech. Ray himself spills the beans on the company’s dramatic rise and fall, alongside his family, former friends, and the journalist who blew the whistle on the whole scam. Centra Tech might have been the first crypto fraud to crash and burn, but its story serves as a cautionary tale of ambition, greed, and the dark side of digital dreams.
