$XRP Ben McKenzie will publish interviews with Bankman-Fried and Mashinsky in his new documentary

The actor said he had spoken with Sam Bankman-Fried before the collapse of FTX and with Alex Mashinsky before Celsius Network filed for bankruptcy.

Ben McKenzie, known for his roles in television series such as Gotham and The OC, will make his directorial debut with a critical documentary about cryptocurrencies.

According to a Deadline note from April 29, McKenzie wrote, directed, and produced the documentary Everyone Is Lying To You For Money, which will premiere at SXSW London in June. The feature includes footage from 2022 of former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried and former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky, before their respective companies collapsed.

“Why does the false narrative of cryptocurrencies continue to spread?” McKenzie said, according to Deadline. “That is the question I set out to answer with this film.”
