Bitconned

Bitconned (2024) is a true-crime documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Director Bryan Storkel traces how three Florida friends spun up a fake crypto startup, Centra Tech, and talked investors out of tens of millions.

The star witness is Ray Trapani — a con man who grins through every confession. On camera he walks through the forged licenses, the made-up executives, the slick ad blitz that made Centra look legit. The cash bought sports cars, watches, waterfront homes. Then federal prosecutors came knocking.

Storkel skips the dry exposé and builds a portrait of a guy who seems to love lying more than the money it brings. Sam Bankman-Fried turns up too, another face of the same crypto fever. Worth a watch if you followed the Centra Tech case or the wider market crash. Stream Bitconned online on iFILM.
