This is Not Financial Advice, the cryptocurrency centric doc that had its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival, has landed at FuseTV.
Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci directed the feature that has a longline that reads: “Glauber Contessoto gambles his life savings on a joke cryptocurrency.

Fuse Media has been taken over in a management buyout following its 2019 bankruptcy reorganization.
The company operates the Latinx-focused Fuse cable channel and FM music outlet. Fuse Media has been owned by a group of private equity firms and hedge funds since it completed its Chapter 11 filing.
Fuse Media CEO Miguel Roggero, who has been with Fuse and its predecessors since 2006, will lead the current team that includes Judi Lopez, head of content distribution, Fernando Romero, head of ad sales, programming chief Marc Leonard, marketing head Mark McIntire and digital head Patrick Courtney.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. Roggero noted the rarity of a Latinx-led management team taking over a national media outlet.
“At a time when millions of Americans of all races and ethnicities are calling for more representation and servicing of underserved communities, the Fuse Media management team is taking ownership of its collective destiny.
