Ben McKenzie’s film, \u201cEveryone Is Lying to You for Money\u201d touts interviews with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried on his political donations.<\/p>\n

Ben McKenzie, a Hollywood actor known for his roles on television shows including Gotham<\/em> and The OC<\/em>, has released the trailer for a documentary about cryptocurrency featuring interviews with actors and former executives at once-prominent trading platforms.<\/p>\n

Released by international sales agency and distributor The Forge on Tuesday, the trailer for the documentary, titled \u201cEveryone Is Lying to You for Money,\u201d showed<\/a> McKenzie saying cryptocurrency was \u201cpretty stupid\u201d and the actor\u2019s journey to advocating against the industry. The film features footage from 2022 of former FTX CEO Sam \u201cSBF\u201d Bankman-Fried and former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky before their respective companies collapsed, as well as interviews with celebrities including Morena Baccarin and Gerard Butler.<\/p>\n

The trailer shows McKenzie directly asking SBF how much he had donated to politicians; it lists among its cast El Salvador\u2019s President Nayib Bukele, who advocated for the country to adopt Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) as legal tender in 2021. Notably, Butler said in an interview with McKenzie that he had \u201cmade a ton of money\u201d investing in crypto but didn\u2019t \u201cactually know anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
