In this mini-documentary, I cover the story of Joel Ortiz. From growing up in Boston public housing to landing a full-ride scholarship at UMass Boston to Study Computer science, where he would then steal millions of dollars in a never-before-seen financial cyber attack targeting large crypto investors and companies. What did he do with the money? Lived the life of a billionaire's son, designer clothes, private yets, taking trips to LA, you name it; before it, all came crashing down to a series of mistakes.
