Histoire
The way most white-collar crime works is by manipulating institutional psychology. That means creating something that looks as much as possible like a normal set of transactions. The drama comes later, when it all unwinds. Financial crime seems horribly complicated, but there are only so many ways you can con someone out of what’s theirs.

Ray Dalio does not want you to listen to this audiobook. Late last year, when the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund on the planet, announced that he was stepping down from the company he started out of his apartment nearly 50 years ago, the news made headlines around the world. Dalio cultivated an aura of international admiration and fame thanks to his company’s eye-popping success, coupled with a mystique he encouraged with frequent media appearances, celebrity hobnobbing, and his bestselling book, Principles.

The ongoing criminal trials of Donald Trump are also a trial for the nation he once led. Can we achieve accountability for premeditated assaults on democracy and what forms should accountability take? In Network of Lies, New York Times bestselling author Brian Stelter answers these questions by weaving together private texts, unpublished emails, depositions, and other primary sources to tell the chilling story of Trump’s alleged conspiracy to steal the 2020 election, and the right-wing media’s mission to put him back in office in 2024.

Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From a famous actor and an experienced journalist, a wildly entertaining debunking of cryptocurrency, one of the greatest frauds in history and on course for a spectacular crash.
At the height of the pandemic, TV star Ben McKenzie (The O.C., Gotham) was the perfect mark for cryptocurrency: a dad stuck at home with some cash in his pocket, worried about his family, armed with only the vague notion that people were making heaps of money on something he—despite a degree in economics—didn’t entirely understand. Lured in by the promise of taking power from banks, possibly improving democracy, and sure, a touch of FOMO, 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, “Am I crazy, or is this all a total scam?”
In Easy Money, McKenzie enlists the help of journalist Jacob Silverman for a caper and exposé that points in shock to the climactic final days of cryptocurrency now upon us. Weaving together stories of average traders and victims, colorful crypto “visionaries,” Hollywood’s biggest true believers, anti-crypto whistleblowers, and government agents searching for solutions at the precipice of a major crash, Easy Money is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of 2008 Housing Bubble-level irresponsibility and criminal fraud potentially ten times more devastating than Bernie Madoff.

Detailing A Crash
Crypto is a scam. All of it. Always.
If you're someone who thinks otherwise, this book is probably not for you. Or maybe it is if you want to hear a different perspective? However, if you're someone like me who wholly believes the first line of this review, this book is definitely for you, but also won't tell you anything new if you've been observing the crypto industry's collapse over the last couple of years.
Ben McKenzie is an actor I'm unfamiliar with, who decided during COVID to self-appoint himself the title of journalist and start digging into the crypto industry that once felt like it was taking over the world. He quickly discovered what anyone without blinders on saw as obvious, that the industry was overrun with scams, cons and clueless idiots and venture capitalists willing to throw gobs of money at it for ludicrously generous promises of quick riches. McKenzie (and I think mostly his "contributor" if I'm honest), take all the various big scams that happened, condense them into a succint recollection and also go into both the business and ideological foundations that underpinned them and drove them to such great success before almost immediately going up in flames. It's a compelling listen (which McKenzie does a great job of) that makes you realize just how fragile our financial system is and how much of it operates under near total regulatory capture.
My one main gripe is McKenzie's unwillingness to ever demand personal accountability for the people who fell for these scams. He doesn't mind throwing shade at venture capital firms (nor should he), but he stops short of blaming any individuals who bet their life savings on ridiculous promises and flashy marketing that anyone with a brain could have seen didn't add up, calling it "victim blaming". No, if you can't be bothered to do five minutes of research (often all it takes to find out how scammy much of this stuff was) before throwing your entire financial well being at one of these cons, then you need to learn better critical thinking skills. This doesn't necessarily apply universally, but a LOT of the people who bought into the crypto bubble were little more than useful idiots and hand waving that away is only going to ensure that they never learn anything from their mistakes. If something seems to good to be true, it almost always is.
This is a good, well written and presented book, but if you followed the news or YouTube channels that detailed these scams as they were happening, there isn't much new to learn here. I do recommend it though, especially for people who need a crash course in how to spot scams.
Also, Satoshi Nakamoto is Adam Back. This is all but a certainty now.

Mostly good, amateur experience shows
This book is a great retelling of the crypto industry and it’s impacts. Generally, I was hoping for a bit more “behind the curtain” insight but there is enough “exclusive” content here to justify giving it a listen. The first 5 chapters are almost an extended foreword, like Ben got the book deal then filled the content of the book with how he got the book deal. That’s fine, but it felt like it was a little self-centric for too long without breaking it up with unique content actually centred around the title of the book.
Ben is a fantastic narrator, being an actor of course, but his writing certainly isn’t flawless. Some chapters will re-state something not even a minute later or use the same turn of phrase multiple times in succession I’m honestly surprised an editor never caught it.
Not to mention this production has its issues. The end of chapter 8, beginning of chapter 11, and somewhere mid-chapter 12 had random audio glitches in which it appears at least a couple sentences were skipped or the wrong track was placed randomly in the middle. Just randomly hitting the brakes and all you hear is “Ben McKenzie, Ben McKenzie.”
If you’re interested in crypto or capitalism, this will make you well versed in its rise and fall with some extra stories that will make you uncomfortable about the world. So it’s good, but not great.
