Acerca de esta escucha

In 2021, scammers stole $16 million from thousands of investors across the globe, by capitalising on the hype around NFTs and the success of the hit Netflix series Squid Game.

The scam was so believable, the BBC, Yahoo and CNBC covered its initial trading success, before later publishing headlines revealing the full scale of the fraud. Investigative technology journalist Janhoi McGregor takes a deep dive into the murky underworld of Crypto and NFTs, to attempt to uncover the true identity of the squid scammer. Much of their web trail was wiped out, but digital detective Janhoi follows the crumbs left behind in an attempt to find justice for the victims.

The basis of the story was a person trying to solve a financial crime, but I loved the crypto facts that were thrown in along the way. I was learning without feeling like I was learning.

Learning about crypto in an exciting way

An interesting look at the NFT space and one team's effort to bring a scammer to justice. Worth the listen IMHO.

Not bad except for the background music

This detective story is utterly compelling. The details around the mechanics of crypto and NFTs are fascinating and presented in a way that is easy to grasp. The presenter is a colorful personality, and it took me a few episodes to warm up to him, but he ultimately won me over.

Could not stop listening...

La historia es interesante de por sí, el periodista intenta hacerla entretenida con comentarios graciosos y explicaciones sobre como funcionan las criptomonedas.

Recomendable
