Get Rich Quick
Season 4 Episode 1 of 10
The criminologist investigates cybercrime and investment frauds, meeting Jen McAdam, who invested in the One Coin cryptocurrency scam run by Crypto Queen Ruja Ignatova. Jen explains how the scam worked, how convincing its marketing and hype was, and her shock as she came to realise it wasn't what it claimed to be. David also interviews technology expert Arianna Trozze to find out exactly how cryptocurrency works, and how the technology underpinning it - blockchain - should in theory make it safe
David Wilson's Crime Files: Scams and Scandals airs on BBC Scotland HD at 11:30 PM, Tuesday 16 September. (Subtitles, repeat.)
