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.
