Calling Out Hollywood's Crypto Frontmen (with Ben McKenzie) - In The Bubble podcast

Andy Slavitt interviews actor Ben McKenzie about his new book, Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud (co-written with journalist Jacob Silverman). McKenzie did not hesitate to call out celebrities like Matt Damon, Larry David, Steph Curry, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, et al. for their role in promoting what he saw as a dubious (at best) investment — years before the crypto bubble burst.

It’s an interesting discussion with a guy whose economics degree from UVa differentiates him from the average Hollywood pretty face (although McKenzie does not claim to be a personal finance expert).
