COURTHOUSE,
Jan 6 - In covering
cryptocurrency cases and
crimes in Federal court in New
York, Inner City Press is
often asked to assist on
possible documentaries about
OneCoin, Ruja Ignatova and
Sebastian Greenwood, SFB and
maybe soon Do Kwon and
SafeMoon's Karony.
But one
cryptocurrency true-crime is
out this month on Netflix:
BitConned, about Ray Tripani
(the cooperator), Robert
Farkas, and Sohrab Sharma.
Inner City Press
covered their sentencings, and
Sharma's remand for violation
of pre-trial supervision. So
now, its review of the Netflix
flick.
The chutzpa
of Tripani, giving interviews
about ongoing scams will
awaiting sentencing, is
surprising.
They show 40
Foley Square, then have an
actress read from the
sentencing transcript. Tripani
is said to start a business
lending at 50% interest -
illegal in New York State. But
he's in Florida.
Will we see him
on a Violation of Supervised
Release? Watch this site - and
the flick.
