This is a solid documentary that provides simple enough information for would be victims of crypto scams. Watch out for the poor ratings given here by so called "experts" that want to trash this documentary in order to maintain the credibility of a continuous "decentralised" crypto business scam fuelled by greed. I am a techie with 30 + years in the industry and I can assure you that the chances you will be scammed in the crypto world is very, very high. Btw, are you a believer that the world will have a decentralised financial economy? Keep dreaming. The bits and coins of the darknet will continue to rejoice at your naïveté.

source: Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King

It's basically a Reddit thread put on film. There is zero actual evidence about anything. It's all unverified, unsourced speculation from a bunch of people who very clearly have a reason to believe the worst. It's just 80 minutes of mostly burned customers spinning wild speculation based on nothing. No joke, one of the biggest "sources" is a Reddit account that claims to be an insider and everyone just acts like it's gospel and not some random person on the internet. Then the last 10 minutes or so they show that everything in the first 80 minutes was never true and all these accusations are totally unfounded and should have never been taken seriously (even though they made a whole documentary about them lol). You can't help but feel like they manufactured a whole story that they knew wasn't even remotely true to make an otherwise pretty mundane story of fraud into something more salacious.

I got scammed into watching! No not really but left me wondering a whole bunch. I was expecting way more because the story was very interesting at the beginning and then all of a sudden it was over. Not cool.

Terrible. Lots of summations and bias theories rather than facts. All may be true but presented terribly. Tabloid documentary. Oh and The fox mask. .. My god.

I think the real scam is that this documentary was worth watching until the end waiting for some revelation... I want my 1 1/2 hours back! Was formatted like there was going to be some big twist or reveal at the end and the story just isn't that deep. Should have been a straightforward short news story. I could retell the whole thing in few sentences and not miss anything. However for everyone in the reviews saying this is why you shouldn't use crypto I disagree, as long as we have media such as this to hold people responsible, checks and balances. Gerry Cotten ran an exchange, so that's like saying don't use the dollar because what Bernie Madoff and his investment firm did. Thanks to the blockchain private citizens interviewed in the film were able to see and investigate transactions. This documentary does show that you should do due (doo doo) diligence before buying crypto and via what platform. This doc should spur an investor to do research before spending. Of course there is fraud any place a devious-minded person can exploit, always been and always will be there.

I watched this, and while I found it entertaining, it raised more questions than answers. I can't fathom why they didn't interview or at least investigate in more depth certain people. No interview with the reluctant wife I can understand, but what about Cotten's parents? Was the shady doctor the only staff at the hospital that the reporter talked to? I can think of a dozen questions that go unanswered. Ultimately, this documentary was a bit disappointing.

Good to see it's a movie, not a series. Netflix didn't stretch the story to endless episodes. This story about a cryptocurrency scam will certainly resonate with a lot of people. Greed feeds people to invest in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, yet very few understand how they actually work. That's why it's so attractive to scammers.

Crypto fascinated me when it first came out, but being old(er) I couldn't figure out how to buy it and then, spend it!! So I laughed it off. When this documentary came out, I had to watch it. Young people these days! Never cease to amaze me. What they come up with!! It was interesting to hear what the group did when they were told about the death of the Cotten. Rather ingenious. Also interesting was seeing who was in their basements. I gave this documentary 8 stars because it was so off the fricking wall! AND because of that poor guy who got into crypto to save 2% from the bank. The irony! Two stars belong to him.
