À propos de ce contenu audio

In 2021, scammers stole $16 million from thousands of investors across the globe, by capitalising on the hype around NFTs and the success of the hit Netflix series Squid Game.

The scam was so believable, the BBC, Yahoo and CNBC covered its initial trading success, before later publishing headlines revealing the full scale of the fraud. Investigative technology journalist Janhoi McGregor takes a deep dive into the murky underworld of Crypto and NFTs, to attempt to uncover the true identity of the squid scammer. Much of their web trail was wiped out, but digital detective Janhoi follows the crumbs left behind in an attempt to find justice for the victims.

      Janhoi learns that the people behind the Squid Scam had carried out a smaller scam a few weeks earlier to ‘test the water’. This means more leads to follow. He also looks at how ordinary people are being pulled into - and sucked out of - the NFT and crypto world.
