Bitconned, the Netflix feature doc about a group of prolific modern-day con artists, is being turned into a podcast series.
Glass Entertainment, the company behind the doc, which launched on the streamer in January, is adapting it as Creating a Con: The Story Behind Bitconned.
Produced by Glass Podcasts and iHeartPodcasts, the podcast is both an adaptation and extension of the film that offers a deeper dive into how the scamming co-founder of Centra Tech Ray Trapani exploited the cryptocurrency market.
The series launches on April 3.
In season one, listeners meet Ray Trapani – a 26-year-old whose schemes targeted pharmacies and a payment app before he created his biggest con yet: a tech startup endorsed by DJ Khaled and Floyd Mayweather that was built on empty promises, fake executives, and millions of dollars from unsuspecting investors.
The nine-part series is hosted by Trapani’s best friend Jonny B Good.

Bitconned Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Robert Farkas, Sohrab Sharma, Ray Trapani, Damian Williams
Director: Bryan Storkel
Review of Bitconned Is Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb)
What’s Good: The documentary skillfully navigates through Centra’s rise and fall, exploring the motivations behind the scam. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the fraudulent activities, showcasing the lavish lifestyles funded by deceived investors. The film’s adept chronological presentation ensures clarity, and the inclusion of interviews enhances authenticity.
What’s Bad: While “Bitconned” effectively portrays Centra’s deceitful practices, it also sheds light on the disheartening reality of inadequate legal repercussions, particularly regarding Ray Trapani. The documentary leaves viewers frustrated with the incongruity between Trapani’s significant role in the scam and his ability to walk away unscathed through cooperation with federal officials.
Loo Break: Given the documentary’s high energy and compelling narrative, avoiding taking a break during the runtime is...

There are not many documentaries, shows, or films that explore the bubble created by Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. There is still a lot of ambiguity about how it works or how people work around it because of the nature of the product and there being zero regulations to control the movement of the said entity, which exists only in digital form. Bryan Storkel’s Bitconned is a wordplay on the name of the first big crypto and is a documentary film on the firm Centra Tech that had plans to diversify their product-based company surrounding the cryptocurrency and an ambitious plan to be a virtual banking system based only on the digital form of currency.

A nearly unrecognizable Sofia Vergara playing a cartel boss, a new retelling of the story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed in the Andes in 1972, Kevin Hart assembling a team for a daring heist and Dan Levy dealing with loss and grief are among the standout projects hitting Netflix this January.
Spanish director J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow lands on Netflix on Jan. 4. The film is the latest cinematic retelling of the miraculous story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed on a glacier in the heart of the Andes in 1972, with the survivors being forced to resort to extreme measures to stay alive. After debuting in Venice, Society of the Snow has picked up plenty of awards on the international film festival circuit, and it recently made the shortlists in four categories for the 2024 Academy Awards, including best international feature film.
