Once a Bitcoin Miner: Scandal and Turmoil in the Cryptocurrency Wild West Lou Ethan
Fresh out of university, Ethan Lou moves west to write for Reuters, landing in an oil boomtown founded by redcoats fighting illegal whiskey. When early Bitcoin investments pay off spectacularly, Ethan leaves his job to build a blockchain start-up, riding into a nearly-trillion-dollar frontier of open-bar pool parties, wealth-flaunting money giveaways, psychedelics, scams, scandal, and turmoil. But before that, he had another life in the cryptocurrency world, crossing paths with the likes of the late Gerald Cotten of QuadrigaCX and the Ethereum co-founder Anthony Di Iorio.
He finds nothing lasts. Somehow, he ends up in North Korea, at the very conference at which the Ethereum computer scientist Virgil Griffith is accused by the FBI of breaking sanctions -- and Ethan saw everything. Calamity comes in waves.
Bitcoin plunges. Overhead, vultures circle, and in the tall grass, lawmen lurk.
