Crypto Boy: Inside The Success, Sex, Dirty Money, Murder & Wild World of The Blockchain

by Ian Halperin

SOHO Media Publishing presents Book VI, of the #1 bestselling Controversy Book Series - the ultimate undercover expose into the wild world of Crypto, NFTs, Blockchain and Clubhouse. #1 NY Times bestselling author/award-winning film director Ian Halperin is widely recognized as the world's leading undercover investigative journalist, having posed undercover as an alleged gay Scientologist, Michael Jackson's hairdresser, the Kardashians' sex tape peddler and many others.
In this riveting expose, Halperin unveils in astonishing detail the startling findings of his revelatory odyssey into the fascinating world of Crypto, NFTs and the Blockchain. Along the way, he unveils the workings of an industry heavily invested in maintaining an illusion that bears no semblance to reality and which can't afford to allow the public to know how deeply corruption, greed, sex, murder and drugs is deeply ingrained in the wild world of digital currency.
Crypto Boy reads like a fast-paced thriller. But unfortunately, it is all true. Every single excruciating detail.
A page turning expose - which among other things sees Halperin infiltrate this world by posing undercover as an NFT artist - spotlights the success and the heartbreaking toll crypto has on its legion of worshippers, traders and dubious characters each day. Never in the rollercoaster world of crypto is there a dull moment!
