Actor Ben McKenzie Warns of the Dangers of Crypto: It's a “House of Cards”

Season 2026 Episode 8160 | 17m 42s

This week the Senate will consider a long-awaited bill that could hand the crypto industry a major regulatory win. The consequences could be "deeply troubling," says Ben McKenzie. His new documentary "Everyone Is Lying to You for Money" takes a deep dive into the complicated world of crypto. The director joins the show to explain why he believes the risks are far greater than many realize.
