In December 2020, everything I’d built—everything I thought was secure—was stolen in under ten minutes. Hackers infiltrated my cell provider, hijacked my identity, and vanished with over 500 Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—$31.5 million gone in a blink. What followed was a spiral into disbelief, fury, and the sobering realization that no amount of technical skill can shield you from betrayal by the very systems you trust.
UNDERMINED tears open the pages of my life—from a kid obsessed with computers to an engineer, crypto miner, and modern-day treasure hunter who stumbled into wealth most people only dream of—only to watch it disappear in real time. But this wasn’t just a story about losing money. It was about losing control. Losing safety. Losing a part of myself.
This book goes far beyond Bitcoin. It’s an unfiltered look at what happens when innovation runs faster than accountability—when corporations fail, when the safety nets don’t catch you, and when your worst-case scenario becomes reality. It’s about rage, grief, and the courage to fight back—to take on one of the world’s biggest telecom giants —and what it takes to claw your way back.
UNDERMINED isn’t just a warning. It’s a reckoning. A story of devastation, yes—but also of resilience, reinvention, and ultimately, redemption.
