How does Ryan Atwood from The O.C. end up going toe-to-toe with global fraudsters, shorting multi-billion-dollar markets, and landing an unnerving face-to-face interrogation with FTX Founder and now-convicted-criminal Sam Bankman-Fried?
In this wild, hilarious, and eye-opening chat, actor turned investigative author and documentarian Ben McKenzie joins Wil to reveal how a pandemic lockdown, an economics background, and a well-timed pot edible turned him into crypto’s most unexpected whistleblower.
Ben breaks down the cult-like psychology of financial scams, pulls back the curtain on his documentary Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, and explains why the biggest Ponzi scheme in history was best exposed through relentless comedy and leaning unapologetically into his TV past.
Ahead of a traditional VOD release, Ben’s documentary “Everyone is Lying to You for Money” became available to stream from Saturday, August 22 through a collaboration with Eventive, a ticketing and streaming platform with a mission to make film festivals and independent film accessible. Ticketholders are now able to watch the film at any time between now and September 6, 2026.
