Bitconned (2024, available January 1)

The official description of Netflix’s Bitconned reads: “In this true-crime documentary, three guys exploit the freewheeling cryptocurrency market to scam millions from investors and bankroll lavish lifestyles.” Directed by Bryan Storkel, the doc tells the story of Ray Trapani—the man behind the 2017 Centra Tech crypto scam—and his partners Sohrab Sharma and Robert Farkas. Trapani, who dreamt of becoming a big-time criminal since he was a boy, pled guilty to investment fraud, got sentenced to prison, and must repay $2,608,869.
