Season 2: 'Lunacy, the Rise and Fall of Do Kwon' Podcast Trailer
Welcome to “Crypto Crooks” Season 2: ”Lunacy: The Rise and Fall of Do Kwon."
ABOUT
"Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.
Crypto's biggest names thought Do Kwon and his algorithmic stablecoin would take them to the promised land. But then terraUSD slipped from its dollar peg by just one cent. Everything unraveled. $60 billion, vaporized. Life savings, obliterated. A wave of suicides across the globe. And that was just the beginning.
