Ben McKenzie—actor, author, and now filmmaker—dives into cryptocurrency in his directorial debut Everyone is Lying to You for Money.
Best known for roles in The O.C. and Gotham, McKenzie has become a prominent critic of the crypto industry. He is also co-author of the book Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud, which examines the rise of cryptocurrency and the risks it poses to investors and the broader financial system.
In this interview with National Capital Area Skeptics (NCAS) Board Member Jim Harris, McKenzie discusses his transition from curiosity about crypto to uncovering what he sees as systemic deception, misinformation, and financial exploitation. The conversation explores how Everyone is Lying to You for Money both educates and entertains while delivering a sharp critique of the crypto world.
Join NCAS members at the AFI Silver in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, for special screenings of Ben's film on April 20, 2026 at 6:45 and April 25, 2026 at 6:15, both with Q&A with Ben McKenzie. Details at ncas.org/2026/04/coming-april-20-and-april-25.html .
