Uncensored, Unfiltered Insights: Ben McKenzie's Crypto Exposé
Actor Ben McKenzie Unveils Cryptocurrency Documentary Titled 'Everyone Is Deceiving You for Financial Gain'
Meet Ben McKenzie, the man taking on the crypto kingdom with his provocative documentary, "Everyone Is Lying to You for Money", premiering at the much-awaited SXSW London event in June 2025. This hard-hitting film promises to unveil the shady world of cryptocurrency through the eyes of a former "The O.C." and "Gotham" star turned investigative filmmaker.
According to a report by Deadline, McKenzie's documentary features high-profile interviews with key players within the crypto sphere. Among these interviews are the disgraced ex-CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Alex Mashinsky, co-founder of Celsius, both filmed before their firms plunged into bankruptcy in July 2022 and November 2022 respectively[1].
McKenzie's documentary is a reaction to the crypto fraud he started warning about in late 2021. As many of the "bros" questioning him faced legal troubles and investors lost their savings, McKenzie embarked on this documentary journey to expose the truth about cryptocurrency.
"It's time we put crypto and the scammers peddling it in their rightful place – with zero respect," McKenzie declared[1]. The documentary not only delves into the questionable practices and controversies plaguing the crypto industry but also offers an in-depth look at its crippling economic and social impacts.
McKenzie's documentary also encapsulates his economic background and critical perspective on the crypto industry, shedding light on the reality versus the publicized illusion of the crypto world[1]. Filmed over three years across continents such as New York, London, Austin, El Salvador, and Miami, "Everyone Is Lying to You for Money" promises to be a scathing critique of the cryptocurrency landscape.
