A very interesting article and podcast about about a woman who was promoting her crypto, OneCoin,  raking in billions of dollars/pounds and then she disappeared.

Hard for mere mortals like me to separate scams from investment opportunities. I was told many years ago though, that if you don't understand it, find something else to invest in.

Interesting link. I find cryptocurrency stories enticing and although there is a lot of money that can be made, there are a lot of scams, too. Wired has a much longer separate story of what they call a crypto-tragedy told in three acts, for those that also enjoy this sort of thing.

You can use the 4K YouTube downloader program to download all the episodes at once. Just make sure to change the 4K menu settings to an audio download and I slected MP3 as the format.  Using MP3 I am able to listen to the whole series on my tiny MP3 player.

So many crypto-concurrency con artists out there. Creditors want to exhume a body here to get their money back. Thanks for sharing, ssfc.
