Ben McKenzie Exposes Crypto Scam

0:00It's April 24th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. Actor Ben McKenzie just dropped a documentary called, Everyone is lying to you for money, hitting theaters now, where he breaks down why cryptocurrency is straight up a scam. He says it's not that you're dumb for not getting it, they make it sound super complicated on purpose to fool folks. It's all hype, mania, and crime wrapped in one. McKenzie knows money from both sides, growing up middle class in New York City with three kids, calling himself an aspirational saver, but a practical. Spender thanks to sky high living costs. His first gig was delivered in pizzas at 16 for a chain in Austin, blasting his tombs and pocketing tips, which taught him real respect for cash. That respect hit home when he booked a pilot for the OC, landing life-changing money after scraping by with a beat up 1986 Cadillac. Deville full of miles and no air conditioning.

1:00He splurged on a new infinity right after, marking his first taste of financial security. He pushes home ownership hard, something his folks instilled, though it's tougher for younger folks now, and credits his wife as his best investment, ever for teaming up through life's grind. On crypto, he rates her interest low, and warns even OC characters might fall for the traps. Bottom line, McKenzie wants his film to wake people up, saying it's not your fault, it's the systems, fueled by big political shifts loosening rules, time to hold leaders accountable and shut down the crypto noise before it drags us all down.
